Performance Criteria for the Identification of Inertial Sensor Error Models

Sensors (Basel). 2019 Apr 29;19(9):1997. doi: 10.3390/s19091997.

Abstract

This paper considers performance criteria for the identification of sensor error models and the procedure for their calculation. These criteria are used to investigate the efficiency of the identification problem solution, depending on the initial data, and to carry out a comparative analysis of various suboptimal algorithms. The calculation procedure is based on an algorithm that solves the joint problem of hypothesis recognition and parameter estimation within the Bayesian approach. A performance analysis of the models traditionally used to describe errors of inertial sensors is given to illustrate the application of the procedure for the calculation of performance criteria.
