Multi-Receiver Vector Tracking Based on a Python Platform
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel Multi-Receiver Vector Tracking (MRVT) architecture for the joint tracking of multiple GPS receivers to determine the reference position and attitude of a rigid body is presented. The reduction in overall search space, from the state variables of each individual receiver to a single reference position on the rigid body and the attitude of the rigid body, offers increased information redundancy which brings about increased robustness to signal attenuation and multipath. The MRVT architecture is implemented using a Software Defined Radio (SDR) written in Python with an ObjectOriented Programming (OOP) approach that allows easy initialization, modification and extension of the receivers and the multiple receiver network. It also allows for flexible sharing of information at the signal, measurement, data and coordinate levels. Finally, experiments were conducted on a road vehicle for performance evaluation.

Existing software platforms are not well suited to the task of processing data from a network of GNSS receivers. Because data are expected to be shared amongst networked receivers, not only must new algorithms be designed, but new software platforms upon which these algorithms can be tested must also be built. In this work a software platform for simultaneously processing data from many GNSS re...

Many researchers have controlled and analyzed biped robots that walk in the sagittal plane. Nevertheless, walking robots require the capability to walk merely laterally, when they are faced with the obstacles such as a wall. In walking robot field, both nonlinearity of the dynamic equations and also having a tracking system cause an effective control has to be utilized to address these problems...
