A Biased Extended Kalman Filter for Indoor Localization of a Mobile Agent Using Low-Cost IMU and UWB Wireless Sensor Network

چکیده
Indoor localization of mobile agents using wireless technologies is becoming very important in military and civil applications. This paper introduces an approach for the indoor localization of a mobile agent based on Ultra-WideBand technology using a Biased Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) as a possible technique to improve the localization. The proposed approach allows to use a low-cost IMU (inertial measurement unit) which performances are improved by a calibration procedure. The obtained results show that the filter allows to obtain better result in terms of localization due to the estimation of bias and scale factor.

Implementation of a Low- Cost Multi- IMU by Using Information Form of a Steady State Kalman Filter
In this paper, a homogenous multi-sensor fusion method is used to estimate the trueangular rate and acceleration with a combination of four low cost (< 10$) MEMS Inertial MeasurementUnits (IMU). An information form of steady state Kalman filter is designed to fuse the output of four lowaccuracy sensors to reduce the noise effect by the square root of the number of sensors. A hardware isimplemen...

Abstract: In this study a sensor fusion technique was developed for indoor localization of omnidirectional mobile robots. The proposed sensor fusion method combines the measurements made by an indoor localization system (e.g. ultrasound based localization) with the measurements that comes from an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit). It was taken into consideration that the measurements made by the ...
