Gyro Drift Calibration in Low Cost Inertial System

An intelligent gyro drift calibration method for low-cost inertial system is presented in this paper. This method based on fuzzy reasoning and dynamic estimation can calibrate time-varying gyro drift in the motion of vehicle. Experiments have been done on three strapdown inertial all-attitude systems constituted of piezoelectric rate gyros. The result shows that this method is effective by which the residual of piezoelectric gyro drift can be reduced to about one percent of its original drift value.
