Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A geoid calculation data is collected easily. A geoid calculation data collection device of the present invention comprises an inertial measurement data acquisition part, a comparison data acquisition part, and a recording part. In the inertial measurement data acquisition part, data related to velocity, position, and attitude angle is acquired as inertially-derived data based on an output of an inertial measurement part having a three-axis gyro and a three-axis accelerometer attached to a moving body. In the comparison data acquisition part, data related to velocity is acquired as comparison data from a source other than the inertial measurement part. In the recording part, inertially-derived data and comparison data are recorded in association with each other. In the inertial measurement part, a bias stability is acquired that allows error arising from plumb line deviation to be distinguished to a predetermined degree.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A geoid calculation data collection device comprising: an inertial measurement data acquisition part that acquires data related to velocity, position, and attitude angle as inertially-derived data based on an output of an inertial measurement part having a three-axis gyro and a three-axis accelerometer attached to a moving body; a comparison data acquisition part that acquires data related to velocity as comparison data from a source other than the inertial measurement part; and a recording part that records the inertially-derived data and the comparison data in association with each other, wherein the inertial measurement part has a bias stability that allows error arising from plumb line deviation to be distinguished to a predetermined degree. 2. The geoid calculation data collection device according to claim 1 , wherein the inertially-derived data and the comparison data is used to apply a Kalman filter in which the plumb line deviation is included in the state variables in order to estimate state variables including a plumb line deviation. 3. A geoid calculation data collection device comprising: an inertial measurement data acquisition part, provided with an inertial measurement part having a three-axis gyro and a three-axis accelerometer to be attached to a moving body, and that acquires data related to velocity, position, and attitude angle as inertially-derived data; a comparison data acquisition part that acquires data related to velocity as comparison data from a source other than the inertial measurement part; and a recording part that records the inertially-derived data and the comparison data in association with each other, wherein the inertial measurement part has a bias stability that allows error arising from plumb line deviation to be distinguished to a predetermined degree. 4. The geoid calculation data collection device according to claim 3 , wherein the inertially-derived data and the comparison data is used to apply a Kalman filter in which the plumb line deviation is included in the state variables in order to estimate state variables including a plumb line deviation.
