Particle Filter Performance for Ultra-tightly GPS/INS integration

Ultra-tightly coupled GPS/INS integration has been reported to show better navigation performance than that of other integration methods such as loosely coupled and tightly coupled integration. This paper uses the particle filter for ultra-tightly coupled GPS/INS integration and analyzes the navigation performance according to vehicle trajectory and the number of particles. The navigation performance of particle filter is compared with those of EKF and UKF.
