Range-only SLAM with Interpolated Range Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
In a series of recent papers Singh et al. have explored the idea of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) using range-only measurements. These measurements, obtained from radio or sonar sensors, come at irregular time intervals. In this report we explore the use of interpolation to generate data equally spaced in time, in order to improve the performance of SLAM algorithms. We test this idea on several (simulated and real) robot paths and two SLAM algorithms: an online Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) algorithm and an offline batch optimization algorithm.

Efficient particle filter algorithm for ultrasonic sensor based 2D range-only SLAM application
Simultaneously localization and mapping (SLAM) is a fundamental topic in robotics and mobile computing communities. Owning to low cost and relatively accurate measurement, ultrasonic sensors are widely used in range only SLAM applications. But these applications are challenging to accurately obtain an initial position given to the SLAM algorithm, and robustly localize the targets in a highly dy...
متن کاملA Spectral Learning Approach to Range-Only SLAM
We present a novel spectral learning algorithm for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) from range data with known correspondences. This algorithm is an instance of a general spectral system identification framework, from which it inherits several desirable properties, including statistical consistency and no local optima. Compared with popular batch optimization or multiple-hypothesis ...
متن کاملRobust Range-Only SLAM for Unmanned Aerial Systems
Range-only sensors, in contrast to bearingonly sensors or LIDAR sensors are sensors which only provides distance between two points but not bearing information. The reduced amount of information provided by this sensors makes their application in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) problems specially challenging due to the lack of information. The complexity of the problem becomes high...
متن کاملA Virtual Range Finder based on Monocular Vision System in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
This paper presents a virtual range finder model with the monocular vision system for simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM). It relaxes the constraint often cited in the literature that the motion of the optical axis has to be parallel, and reduces the errors for range extraction by a single camera. This model could also provide a supplementary range measurement for landmark initializati...
متن کاملRecent Results in Extensions to Simultaneous Localization and Mapping
We report experimental results with bearings-only and range-only Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). In the former case, we give the initial results from a new method that extends optimal shape-from-motion to incorporate angular rate and linear acceleration data. In the latter case, we have formulated a version of the SLAM problem that presumes a moving sensor able to measure only ran...
