Sensor Data Fusion Using Kalman Filter
نویسنده
چکیده
Autonomous Robots and Vehicles need accurate positioning and localization for their guidance, navigation and control. Often, two or more different sensors are used to obtain reliable data useful for control system. This paper presents the data fusion system for mobile robot navigation. Odometry and sonar signals are fused using Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and Adaptive Fuzzy Logic System (AFLS). The signals used during navigation cannot be always considered as white noise signals. On the other hand, colored signals will cause the EKF to diverge. The AFLS was used to adapt the gain and therefore prevent the Kalman filter divergence. The fused signal is more accurate than any of the original signals considered separately. The enhanced, more accurate signal is used to guide and navigate the robot.

This paper presents a new multi-sensor data fusion method based on the combination of wavelet transform (WT) and extended Kalman filter (EKF). Input data are first filtered by a wavelet transform via Daubechies wavelet “db4” functions and the filtered data are then fused based on variance weights in terms of minimum mean square error. The fused data are finally treated by extended Kalman filter...
