Title:
ORIENTATION ESTIMATION DEVICE AND TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/175844
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An orientation estimation device that estimates the orientation of a moving body, estimates the roll angle of the moving body, and comprises: first and second angular speed detection units; and an orientation estimation unit that estimates, using arithmetic processing, offset errors for at least one among first, second, and third acceleration detection units. The orientation estimation unit includes a plurality of Kalman filters having applied thereto virtual offset amounts for target detection units, same being applied as at least two types of mutually different values. During the current estimation operation, the plurality of Kalman filters each use detection values for each detection unit, the estimated value from the previous estimation operation, and the virtual offset amounts and calculate the likelihood of the estimated value being correct. The orientation estimation unit estimates the roll angle of the moving body by applying a weighting to each Kalman filter estimated value on the basis of the likelihood.
