Aided Navigation: GPS with High Rate Sensors

Customer Reviews:

Farrell is the Sherpa of Aided Navigation

By J. Covalesky "Senior Member of Technical Staff" - May 6, 2008

After struggling through countless articles with a myriad of approaches to fusing GPS receiver data with vehicle sensors (wheel encoders, accelerometers, gyroscopes, etc.), I started to notice how often references to work by Farrell showed up in the higher quality articles. That led me to buying his latest book, Aided Navigation.

Aided Navigation lays out Farrell's way of designing positioning systems. His designs take a subsystem formed through integration of several sensors that give good short term changes in state (e.g. position changes from inertial sensors) and aid it with one or more complimentary subsystems that do better at following the state over a longer time period (e.g. GPS receiver output.) This is a fairly classical approach, but his survey of the prerequisite theory and explanation of the finer implementation details is refreshingly well-organized.

In Part I, he builds up the analytical tools needed to rigorously execute his design... read more

Excellent book for self-study

By joseph kostas "joe kostas" - May 5, 2008

When attempting to learn a subject like GPS-aided navigation it becomes immediately apparent that there are few references with practical, less than trivial problems and exercises to reinforce the material. This book is an exception. It contains excellent exercises and a website with down-loadable MATLAB/SIMULINK code. The text is clear and very readable.
The appendix on Euler and quaternion kinematic rate equations is quite exceptional. This book is first-rate.

Very helpful especially for navigation engineer

By Yu Lu "ppluu" - May 31, 2008

I am an electrical engineer working for several navigation project. I am always struggling for long time to seek a good book on this application field. When I read several chapters of this book, I know that I found the right book. This book talks from some fundamental theory to high level application. Also it gives a lot of practical examples dedicated to navigation project. I am very happy to have this book and will use it as a guide in navigation area.
