description | In farmland environments where GNSS signals are obstructed, such as forested areas or in adverse weather conditions, traditional GNSS/INS integrated navigation systems suffer from positioning errors and instability. To address this, a model-assisted integrated navigation system is proposed, combining Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (BiLSTM) networks. The CNN-BiLSTM model is trained under normal GNSS conditions and used to predict positioning when GNSS signals are interrupted, effectively replacing GNSS to ensure stable and accurate navigation. Experimental validation is conducted using field data from tractor simulations. The results show that, during a 100-s GNSS denial, the CNN-BiLSTM model reduces the average position error by 79.3% compared to pure inertial navigation and by 5.4% compared to traditional LSTM. In a 30-s GNSS denial, the average position error is reduced by 41% compared to inertial navigation and 6.2% compared to LSTM. The model maintains positioning accuracy within 3% of the GNSS/INS output under normal conditions, demonstrating its feasibility and effectiveness. This approach offers a promising solution for autonomous tractor navigation in GNSS-denied agricultural environments, contributing to precision agriculture. |
