Demonstrates how to leverage on Qinertia to estimate GNSS primary and secondary lever arms.
High Performance SBG Systems INS come with and automatic real time lever arm estimation tools.
Estimating lever arms requires some specific maneuvers and some dynamics.
Qinertia post processing software also offers mechanical installation parameter estimation and has several advantages over a real time estimation.
The estimation process is more stable and accurate especially in low dynamic environments such as large vessels or planes.
It can also be used for products such as ELLIPSE that don't have a built in lever arm estimation module.
This example, simply processes a calibration acquisition using loosely coupling to compute and export estimated lever arms.
Because loosely coupling is used, you have to make sure the real time GNSS provides valid RTK or PPP (Precise Point Positioning) solutions.
If you are not able to get real time RTK/PPP positions, please consider using Qinertia Tightly Coupled computations to access centimeter-level accuracy.
To start the processing, simple go to the Qinertia CLI directory and type the following command line:
qinertia-cli.exe process --license ########## --process-file "pathToData\leverArmEstimation.json"
Once the process is successfully done, Qinertia generates a PDF and a JSON processing report. The PDF report is used for human QC assessment and to review the estimated lever arms.
The JSON report can be used to automatically extract the estimated lever arms.
You can find the results and status in the reports/json/reportMinimal.json
file.
In the JSON file, you should look at the JSON node: processing:mechanicalParametersEstimation
This CLI example has been designed and tested for Qinertia 3.1 versions and above.
