  • Patent number: 12019170
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the field of GNSS and INS integrated navigation technology, and specifically discloses a GNSS and INS integrated navigation positioning method and a system thereof. To addresses the technical problem of positioning error divergence in integrated navigation systems caused by insufficient satellite visibility or strong multipath effects in GNSS denial environments, a method combining motion constraint algorithm and neural network algorithm is proposed for robustness by the present disclosure. The motion constraint algorithm is very stable, but it cannot self-adaptively adjust the constraint threshold based on the vehicle motion state. The neural network algorithm has strong flexibility, but the obtained predicted values inevitably have outliers.
