Integrated Positioning for Coal Mining Machinery in Enclosed Underground Mine Based on SINS/WSN by Qigao Fan, Wei Li, Jing Hui, Lei Wu, Zhenzhong Yu, Wenxu Yan, Lijuan Zhou

“…Firstly, the shearer movement model is built and running regularity of the shearer in coal mining face has been mastered. Secondly, as external calibration of SINS using GPS is infeasible in enclosed underground mine, WSN positioning strategy is proposed to eliminate accumulative error produced by SINS; then the corresponding coupling model is established. …”
