The generalization abilities of neural-network-based inertial devices and GPS integrated navigation systems weaken as the nonlinearity in the system increases, resulting in decreased positioning accuracy. Therefore, a KF-GDBT-PSO (Kalman Filter-Gradient Boosting Decision Tree-Particle Swarm Optimization, KGP) data fusion method was proposed in this work. This method establishes an Inertial Navigation System (INS) error compensation model by integrating Kalman Filter (KF) and Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (GBDT). To improve the prediction accuracy of the GBDT, we optimized the learning algorithm and the fitness parameter using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). When the GPS signal was stable, the KGP method was used to solve the nonlinearity issue between the vehicle feature and positioning data. When the GPS signal was unstable, the training model was used to correct the positioning error for the INS, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and continuity. The experimental results show that our method increased the positioning accuracy by 28.20\u201359.89% compared with the multi-layer perceptual neural network and random forest regression.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s19071623","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,4]],"date-time":"2019-04-04T11:31:57Z","timestamp":1554377517000},"page":"1623","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["A Novel KGP Algorithm for Improving INS\/GPS Integrated Navigation Positioning Accuracy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Huibing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Trusted Software, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}]},{"given":"Tong","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Trusted Software, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}]},{"given":"Lihua","family":"Yin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Cyberspace Institute of Advanced Technology, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China"}]},{"given":"Dingke","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Trusted Software, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}]},{"given":"Ya","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Trusted Software, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7907-2853","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jingwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Guangxi Key Laboratory of Trusted Software, Guilin University of Electronic Technology, Guilin 541004, China"}]},{"given":"Fang","family":"Pan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Teaching Affairs Office, Guangxi Normal University, Guilin 541004, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,4]]},"reference":[{"doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Bijjahalli, S., Gardi, A., and Sabatini, R.
