An integrated navigation system design is presented for an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV). The available navigation information is an acoustic position measurement and a Doppler log speed measurement. Both measurements are studied in detail and modeled statistically. A kinematic model is assigned to the ROV with its driving noise from a Gaussian mixture, and a particle filter is suggested to estimate ROV position and velocity. The advantages of using a particle filter in this ROV navigation scheme are: 1) to make full use of all available information to improve the estimation performance, such as the speed measurement that is a nonlinear function of the states; 2) the particle filter makes good use of a Gaussian mixture as the driving noise, which makes the ROV kinematic model more realistic in both high and low frequency ranges; 3) a good estimate of the ROV velocity vector is achieved. The algorithm of the particle filter is presented and verified through a simulation based on real data. This shows that the estimation performance of the particle filter is clearly better than that of a Kalman filter.
