Abstract
Under the strong interference of sky background noise, the reliability of celestial navigation system (CNS) measurement will drop sharply, which leads to performance deterioration for ships’ strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS)/CNS integrated navigation. To solve this problem, a long short-term memory (LSTM) model is trained to forecast a ship’s attitude to detect the attitude provided by the CNS, and the LSTM forecasted attitude can also be used as a backup in case of CNS failure. First, the SINS/CNS integrated model is derived based on an attitude solution of the CNS, which provides more favorable feature data for LSTM learning. Then, the key techniques of LSTM modeling such as dataset construction, LSTM coding method, hyperparameter optimization and training strategy are described in detail. Finally, an experiment is conducted to evaluate the actual performance of the investigated methods. The results show that the LSTM model can accurately forecast a ship’s attitude: the horizon reference error is less than 0.5′ and the yaw error is less than 0.6′, which can provide reliable reference attitude for the SINS when the CNS is invalid.
