====== Fault-Tolerant Inertial Sensor Fusion for Marine Vessels (MarineINS) ======

The fault-tolerant inertial sensor fusion project for marine vessels is funded by the Norwegian Research Council through  [[http://www.forskningsradet.no/prognett-maroff/Home_page/1228296528774|MAROFF]] and [[http://www.rolls-royce.com/marine/|Rolls-Royce Marine]]. The project goal is to develop novel architecture and algorithms for integrating sensor data from various position reference systems and inertial sensors, to be able to provide motion and position measurements with better accuracy and reliability with less stringent requirements to each of the sensors. The solutions will improve redundancy and failure handling, and use software algorithms to gain high-quality information from data from lower-grade sensors.

The project is associated with the [[http://www.ntnu.edu/amos|NTNU Center for Autonomous Marine Operations and Systems]] (NTNU AMOS)
