  • Motion compensation is a significant part of an airborne remote sensing system. A Position and Orientation System (POS) can directly measure the motion information of an airborne remote sensing payload that can improve the quality of airborne remote sensing images. Gravity disturbance, information on which is often ignored due to being difficult to acquire in real-time, has become the main error source of POS in the development of inertial components. In this paper, a new real-time gravity compensation method is proposed, which includes the gravity disturbance as the error states of a POS Kalman filter, and an accurate gravity disturbance model is constructed using a time-varying Gaussian-Markov model based on a high-precision gravity map, whose resolution is enhanced by a new interpolation method based on Gaussian Process Regression (GPR). A flight experiment was conducted to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method and the results showed that the proposed method performs well when compared with other real-time gravity compensation methods.
