US Patent 11859979 Delta position and delta attitude aiding of inertial navigation system

Systems and methods for the external aiding of inertial navigation systems are described herein. In certain embodiments, a device includes an inertial navigation system. In some embodiments, the inertial navigation system includes one or more inertial sensors and an input interface for receiving measurements. In further embodiments, the measurements include at least one of delta attitude and/or delta position measurements from an external system, and position and attitude information in an arbitrary map frame. In certain embodiments, the inertial navigation system includes a computation device that is configured to calibrate the errors from the one or more inertial sensors using the received measurements.
