چکیده

This paper presents a robust multi-loop airborne SLAM structure which augments wind information into the state of 6DoF Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM). The relative air velocity observation from an air data system can be used to estimate the error of the vehicle state. However due to a priori unknown wind information, it cannot directly be used for that purpose. This can be tackled by augmenting this information into SLAM and estimating it simultaneously with the vehicle state. This can significantly increase the consistency of airborne SLAM at the time of loop closure. The air velocity based SLAM loop limits the error growth of the velocity and attitude effectively and the feature based SLAM loop bounds the position error growth. Simulation results show that wind information can be estimated consistently and the robustness of airborne SLAM improves significantly.

Effects of Moving Landmark’s Speed on Multi-Robot Simultaneous Localization and Mapping in Dynamic Environments

Even when simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) solutions have been broadly developed, the vast majority of them relate to a single robot performing measurements in static environments. Researches show that the performance of SLAM algorithms deteriorates under dynamic environments. In this paper, a multi-robot simultaneous localization and mapping (MR-SLAM) system is implemented within a...

Camera Pose Estimation in Unknown Environments using a Sequence of Wide-Baseline Monocular Images

In this paper, a feature-based technique for the camera pose estimation in a sequence of wide-baseline images has been proposed. Camera pose estimation is an important issue in many computer vision and robotics applications, such as, augmented reality and visual SLAM. The proposed method can track captured images taken by hand-held camera in room-sized workspaces with maximum scene depth of 3-4...

Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping

The problem of simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) for an autonomous mobile robot is stated as follows: starting from a initial position, a mobile robot travels through a sequence of positions and obtains a set of sensor measurements at each position. The goal is for the mobile robot to process the sensor data to produce an estimate of its position while concurrently building a map of ...

New Adaptive UKF Algorithm to Improve the Accuracy of SLAM

SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is a fundamental problem when an autonomous mobile robot explores an unknown environment by constructing/updating the environment map and localizing itself in this built map. The all-important problem of SLAM is revisited in this paper and a solution based on Adaptive Unscented Kalman Filter (AUKF) is presented. We will explain the detailed algorithm...
