Abstract: This Paper will focus on the integration of GPS and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). The measurements are acquired through Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU), which determine the position, velocities and rotations at roll, yaw and pitch axis respectively. Usually IMU’s are very expensive, but here we have used low cost IMU and by low cost it means low performance as well. This is the main reason of introducing GPS to provide stability and feedback to the system. It is observed from the results that the errors of GPS are above 8 meters. These errors are reduced up to 2-3 meters by combining Inertial Navigation System with GPS.
Keywords: GPS, INS, Kalman Filter.

Scope of the Article: Remote Sensing, GIS and GPS
