The reference system is the SPAN-CPT with NovAtel OEMV-3
integrated system. The reference solutions were computed by
the single point positioning (SPP) solutions with Rauch-Tung-
Striebel (RTS) smoother. The test systems are the C-MIGITS III
with NovAtel OEMV-3 integrated system and C-MIGITS III
with U-blox AEK-4T integrated system. And the test systems
are implemented by the SPP solutions and the Kalman filters
with non-holonomic constraints to integrate.
4.2 Field Scenario
The field scenario of the land vehicle was conducted in the
downtown area of Tainan, and the total trajectory distance is 5
kilometers and the work time is 20 minutes. The trajectory is
displayed in Google Earth as shown in Figure 7, and Figure 8
shows the building distribution and scenes beside the roads
went through in the field scenario. The installed instruments on
the top of the land vehicle can be shown as Figure 9.

4.3 Results
The testing system is composed of the tactical INS (C-MIGITS
IIT) with low-cost GPS receiver (U-blox) and a geodetic grade
dual frequency GPS receiver, respectively. The integration
algorithms to deal with the data fusion in this study are EKF,
AKF, EKF with NHC and AKF with NHC. The reference
system is the SPAN-CPT with geodetic GPS receiver integrated

system and the integrated algorithm is RTS smoother processed
in post-mission with differential carrier phase measurements.
For testing system, the GPS solutions are proceed with the SPP
solutions. The PDOP values and visible satellite numbers of the
geodetic GPS receiver and the low-cost GPS receiver in the
field scenario are shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11.

The first scenario is to demonstrate the results of tactical INS
and geodetic GPS receiver processed by EKF, EKF with NHC,
AKF and AKF with NHC, respectively. Figurel2 shows the n-
frame trajectories of the integration algorithms, and positional
solutions errors in local level frame (East, North and Up
directions) are shown in Figures 13 to 15.
