Decentralized cooperative trajectory estimation for autonomous underwater vehicles

Abstract: Abstract-Autonomous agents that can communicate and make relative measurements of each other can improve their collective localization accuracies. This is referred to as cooperative localization (CL). Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) CL is constrained by the low throughput, high latency, and unreliability of of the acoustic channel used to communicate when submerged. Here we propose a CL algorithm specifically designed for full trajectory, or maximum a posteriori, estimation for AUVs. The method is exact an… Show more

“…To overcome the fact that broadcast packet reception is unknown until an acknowledgment is successfully received, a system of bookkeeping using confirmed ingoing and outgoing contact points is used [17]. Bookkeeping is required for vehicles to know which local factors should be generated to guarantee consistency of the multi-vehicle estimates maintained by others.…”

“…The dominant trend in developing decentralized cooperative localization algorithms in this way is to distribute the computation of components of a centralized algorithm among team members. Some of the examples for this class of D-CL is given in [31], [22], [14], [32], [33]. In a straightforward fashion, decentralization can be conducted as a multi-centralized CL, wherein each agent broadcasts its own information to the entire team.…”

“…19 Other works have investigated the use of multiple cooperating vehicles which share varying amounts of information to further constrain their navigation. [20][21][22] A significant challenge in using inter-vehicle ranges for position estimates is preventing overconfidence in the solution through the sharing of correlated covariance information or double counting. 23 Prior work has largely dealt with this challenge by preserving prior measurement information and extending the state with each new measurement which has limited scalability and suitability for real-time processing.…”
