Generalization of 2D SLAM Observability Condition
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we deduce general observability condition of all types of SLAM solutions regardless what states they consider directly in estimation, i.e. whether SLAM is feature based or pose (graph) based. This result comes from doing nonlinear observability analysis of the pose-based SLAM. We consider general vehicle motion model whose control inputs are translational and rotational velocity of the vehicle’s body, and relative vehicle’s pose measurements that come, for example but not necessarily, from stereo camera image registration. We conclude that, for the SLAM to be observable, one vehicle pose must be known apriori, or must be exactly reconstructable from observed features. This approach avoids extra non-singularity conditions, i.e. connection of the localization algorithm and a robot control law in observability analysis. Finally, we demonstrate the theory on the common pose estimation problem solved with the Extended Kalman Filter.

A Unified Approach of Observability Analysis for Airborne SLAM
Observability is a key aspect of the state estimation problem of SLAM, However, the dimension and variables of SLAM system might be changed with new features, to which little attention is paid in the previous work. In this paper, a unified approach of observability analysis for SLAM system is provided, whether the dimension and variables of SLAM system are changed or not, we can use this approa...
متن کاملOn 'A Kalman Filter-Based Algorithm for IMU-Camera Calibration: Observability Analysis and Performance Evaluation'
The above-mentioned work [1] presented an extended Kalman filter for calibrating the misalignment between a camera and an IMU. As one of the main contributions, the locally weakly observable analysis was carried out using Lie derivatives. The seminal paper [1] is undoubtedly the cornerstone of current observability work in SLAM and a number of real SLAM systems have been developed on the obse...
متن کاملObservability-based Rules for Designing Consistent EKF SLAM Estimators
In this work, we study the inconsistency problem of EKF-based SLAM from the perspective of observability. We analytically prove that when the Jacobians of the process and measurement models are evaluated at the latest state estimates during every time step, the linearized error-state system employed in the EKF has observable subspace of dimension higher than that of the actual, nonlinear, SLAM ...
متن کاملDiscrete Ingham Type Inequalities with a Weakened Gap Condition
Harmonic analysis is an efficient tool in control theory. For example, various generalizations of a classical theorem of Ingham proved to be very helpful in establishing crucial observability theorems in many recent studies; see, e.g., [8]. The purpose of this work is to prove a new generalization, by weakening a usual gap condition and by replacing the observed integrals by Riemann sums, more ...
