METHOD OF UNDERWATER INERTIAL NAVIGATION

The invention relates to a method for underwater navigation, particularly for scuba divers, and for autonomous, manned, or remote-controlled underwater vessels, wherein the signals of at least one sensor, comprising at least one acceleration sensor for determining the actual position, are integratively analyzed, accuracy is improved by means of the use of reference measurements, and a correction is carried out by way of a correction vector obtained from the transformation of the vector of the accelerations measured by the acceleration sensor in the diving computer coordinate system into the global coordinate system, the comparison to at least one of the reference measurement values, the determination of the deviation and the reverse transformation of the deviation to the diving computer coordinate system.
