Integrity – A Topic for Photogrammetry ?

Abstract

Abstract. Photogrammetric methods and sensors like LIDAR, RADAR and cameras are becoming more and more important for new applications like highly automatic driving, since they enable capturing relative information of the ego vehicle w.r.t its environment. Integrity measure the trust that we can put in the navigation information of a system. The concept of integrity was first developed for civil aviation and is linked to reliability concepts well known in geodesy and photogrammetry. Currently, the navigation community is discussing how to guarantee integrity for car navigation and multi-sensor systems.In this paper, we will give a short review on integrity concepts and on the current discussion of how to apply it to car navigation. We will discuss which role photogrammetry could play to solve the open issues in the integrity definition and monitoring for multi-sensor systems.

Spatio-Temporal Research Data Infrastructure in the Context of Autonomous Driving

“…In the past 30 years, different algorithms have been developed for monitoring integrity of GPS-based navigation starting from aviation, and step-by-step being transferred and adopted to car navigation [5]. However, many open issues persist [6], and novel concepts for integrity description should be exploited, e.g., in the form of quality measures such as upper bounds on the measurement errors by interval mathematics [7,8], and can be achieved, e.g., by collaboration between multiple sensors [9].…”
