Integrated Autonomous Relative Navigation Method Based on Vision and IMU Data Fusion

Abstract

An integrated autonomous relative navigation method based on vision and IMU data fusion was proposed in this paper, which can improve the position accuracy effectively and has strong adaptability to environmental changes. Firstly, IMU pre-integration formula based on Runge Kutta method was derived, which can improve the pre-integration position accuracy and reduce the accumulated error effectively. Secondly, an inverse depth estimation method based on the mixed probability model was proposed during the system initialization process, which can improve the accuracy of camera depth estimation and provide better initial conditions for back-end optimization. Thirdly, a sliding window filtering method based on the probability graph was proposed, which can avoid repeated calculations and improve the sliding window filtering efficiency. Forthly, combined with the advantages of the direct method and the feature point method, a mixed re-projection optimization method was proposed, which can expand the application scope of the method and improve the optimization accuracy effectively. Finally, in the closed-loop optimization, a closedloop optimization method based on similar transformation is proposed to eliminate the accumulated error. In order to verify the environmental adaptability of the method and the impact of closed-loop detection on the relative navigation system, indoor and outdoor experiments were carried out with a hand-held camera and an IMU. EuRoC dataset was used in the experiments and the proposed method was compared with some classical methods. The experimental results showed that this method has high accuracy and robustness.

Tracking Control of the Dynamic Input-Output Economic System Based on Data Fusion

“…e so-called data fusion is the association, correlation, and integration of data and data obtained from single and multiple data sources to obtain accurate location and identity estimates, as well as the situation, characteristics, attributes, trends, and threats and their importance, with a data processing process for comprehensive and timely evaluation; this process is a continuous refinement process for its estimation, evaluation, and evaluation of additional data source needs [16,17]. It is also a process of continuous self-correction in the data processing process to obtain improved results.…”

Map Construction and Path Planning Method for a Mobile Robot Based on Multi-Sensor Information Fusion

“…In the aspect of sensor data fusion, the filtering algorithm is usually used for data fusion [16][17][18][19]. On the basis of the Sage-Husa adaptive filtering algorithm, through the Cholesky decomposition of the posterior covariance estimation matrix existing in the extended Kalman filter SLAM algorithm, Cheng Lu et al greatly improved the operating efficiency and estimation accuracy of the system [20].…”

Indoor Vision/INS Integrated Mobile Robot Navigation Using Multimodel-Based Multifrequency Kalman Filter

“…To realize mobile robot self-navigation, many approaches can be chosen [5,6]. e inertial navigation system (INS) and the vision navigation system (VNS) are the two most commonly used schemes which have gradually become standard sensors on mobile robot systems [7,8]. For example, an INS is used to achieve the self-navigation in a work [9], while a visual navigation system is used in another work's navigation tasks [10].…”
