Abstract
A method and a device resets an inertial unit of a transport on the basis of information delivered by a viewfinder of the transport. According to one embodiment: a horizontal velocity vector of the transport and coordinates of the transport are obtained from the inertial unit, a horizontal line of sight of the viewfinder is obtained on at least one landmark, coordinates of at least one landmark are obtained, an angle between the horizontal velocity vector and the horizontal line of sight is computed, the drift of the computed angle is computed, an error is computed on the basis of the obtained coordinates, the computed angle and its computed drift, and the computed error is transferred to a Kalman filter for filtering the error and resetting the inertial unit.
