Dead Reckoning Method for Autonomous Navigation of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

The dead reckoning method of autonomous navigation of AUV (autonomous underwater vehicle) is studied to improve the performance of the navigation system.A test is made on this method with the data from the lake test of AUV,and the results demonstrate that the navigation precision is evidently improved.Hence,this developed method can be applied to revise the original method for autonomous navigation of AUV.
