An unscented Kalman filter (UKF) is derived for integrating vision with inertial measurements from gyros and accelerometers sensors based on three-view geometry. The main goal of the proposed method is to provide better estimations compared to the implicit extended Kalman filter introduced by Indelman [11]. The UKF uses a selected set of points to more accurately map the probability distribution of the measurement model than the linearization of the extended Kalman filter, leading to faster convergence from inaccurate initial conditions in estimation problems. The proposed method is validated using a statistical study based on simulated navigation and synthetic images data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
