Inertial Navigation System(INS)
Navigation is the art of knowing: Where you are (Position) How fast are you moving (Velocity) Which direction (Attitude)
INS Provides self-contained independent means for 3-D positioning
Real time indication of position and velocity of a moving vehicle using sensors that react on the basis of Newton’s laws of motion
Equipment used is called IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit)

INS (Errors)
Accuracy degrades exponentially with time due to unbounded positioning errors
Needed to be positioned again if lost

Precision Agriculture
An information based decision making agricultural system designed to improve the agricultural process
Offers the promise of increasing productivity while decreasing production cost
Positioning is the key component of PA,
Thanks to GPS
Ability to manage land by square meter instead of square mile!

A significant problem can be caused in the data where satellite view is blocked by foliage, buildings and other features, locating position on the field inaccurate and unreliable, making PA impossible.
PA (Problem)
knshaikh@University Putra Malaysia 8
A quick, accurate, reliable, complete and efficient mobile mapping system for site-specific farming (PA) through the integration of sophisticated hardware and software known as GPS Aided INS (GAINS)
PA (Solution)Research Hypothesis
knshaikh@University Putra Malaysia 9
Complementary operational characteristicsINS accuracy decreases with distance, GPS supports by clear signal
Continuous reliable solutionSelf contained, No outages
Even when GPS is available, INS works to make position more accurate
Airborne LIDAR & RADAR are more expensive

To compare the conventional GPS only system and justify the need of an integrated system.
To build an integrated system using IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) and GPS Receiver, according to the requirement of PA.

GPS is getting signal in between the trees, therefore, position of the trees can not be plot by GPS. Map can not be created accurately using GPS only method.

Farmers can use GAINS to determine their fertilizer and pesticide needs, improving crop yield, and preventing hazardous ground-water runoff.The system is especially useful for Tree plants like Durian, Coconut palm, etc. where GPS signal is blocked by the canopy.

GAINS’ Application in Precision Agriculture

Conclusion
GPS only system is not an accurate method of creating DEM of tree plantation thus can not be utilized for Precision Agriculture practices. The problems of GPS signal loss gives rise to need of an autonomous mapping system and we find that GPS Aided INS is the solution of the specified problem.
