A performance prediction method based on sliding window grey neural network for inertial platform

An inertial platform is the key component of a remote sensing system. During service, the performance of the inertial platform appears in degradation and accuracy reduction. For better maintenance, the inertial platform system is checked and maintained regularly. The performance change of an inertial platform can be evaluated by detection data. Due to limitations of detection conditions, inertial platform detection data belongs to small sample data. In this paper, in order to predict the performance of an inertial platform, a prediction model for an inertial platform is designed combining a sliding window, grey theory and neural network (SGMNN). The experiments results show that the SGMNN model performs best in predicting the inertial platform drift rate compared with other prediction models.
