Developing a low-cost GNSS/IMU data fusion platform for boat navigation
Abstract
Methods of measuring a vessel's motioninvolve the use of expensive and complex Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). Cargo or passenger transport ships can afford the implementation of such systems while private small boat market has been cut off. The alternatives for small boat INS navigation are few. This paper investigates the potentiality of GNSS/IMU data fusion, experimenting low-cost hardware like Aceinna openIMU 300ZI and a GNSS receiver based on u-blox ZED-F9P module. The final goal is to build a lowcost self-powered system and assess the performance in small boats navigation tests. To address this goal the INS shall be light-weight, cost-effective, and easy to install.
