Abstract: Disclosed is a self-adaptive horizontal attitude measurement method based on motion state monitoring. Based on a newly established state space model, a horizontal attitude angle is taken as a state variable, an angular velocity increment ??b for compensating a random constant zero offset is taken as a control input of a system equation, and a specific force fb for compensating the random constant zero offset is taken as a measurement quantity. Meanwhile, judgment conditions for a maneuvering state of a carrier are improved, and maneuvering information of the carrier is judged by comprehensively utilizing acceleration information and angular velocity information output by a micro electro mechanical system inertial measurement unit (MEMS-IMU), whereby a measurement noise matrix of a filter can be automatically adjusted, thereby effectively reducing the influence of carrier maneuvering on the calculation of a horizontal attitude.
