Abstract:As the inertial measurement unit (IMU) error calibration of the laser gyro strapdown inertial navigation system has high requirements on the precision of the turntable, the base north alignment and leveling, and considering the factors such as the jitter of the laser gyro, the temperature rises under long time working, and the complexity of the algorithm during the system operation, a systemlevel calibration method using the speed as the measurement value and the least square fitting method was proposed in this paper. Through three axis turntable to process multiposition measurement: stationaryrotationstationary, 24 error parameters, such as installation error, sensor zero bias and the scale factor between threeaxis laser gyro and threeaxis accelerometer have been rapidly identified. The whole calibration process takes about 2 hours, with the multiposition alignment heading, roll, pitch accuracy of higher than 0.012°. The experiment shows that the proposed algorithm is simple and the operation process is convenient, and the IMU precision of the laser gyro strapdown inertial navigation system can be improved effectively.
