Bias Estimation for Decentralized Sensor Fusion
نویسنده
چکیده
In multi-sensor data fusion (or sensor fusion), sensor biases (or offsets) often affect the accuracy of the correlation and integration results of the tracking targets. Therefore, to estimate and compensate the bias, several methods are proposed. However, most methods involve bias estimation and sensor fusion simultaneously by using Kalman filter after collecting the plot data together. Hence, these methods cannot support to fuse the track data prepared by tracking filter at each sensor node. This report proposes the new bias estimation method based on multi-agent model, in order to estimate and compensate the bias for decentralized sensor fusion.

A New Approach to Self-Localization for Mobile Robots Using Sensor Data Fusion
This paper proposes a new approach for calibration of dead reckoning process. Using the well-known UMBmark (University of Michigan Benchmark) is not sufficient for a desirable calibration of dead reckoning. Besides, existing calibration methods usually require explicit measurement of actual motion of the robot. Some recent methods use the smart encoder trailer or long range finder sensors such ...

Moreover, we prove that the state estimation error for the linear filterin...

The mobile sink can increase the efficiency of wireless sensor networks. It moves in a monitored environment and collects the network nodes information. Thus, by the sink we can balance the power consumption and increases the network lifetime. Determining path of the sink's movement is usually modeled as an optimization problem where finding optimal solutions require collecting value of all the...
