چکیده

We propose a mathematical model for vision-based autonomous navigation on general terrains. Our model, a generalization of Mallot’s inverse perspective, assumes the direction of gravity and the speed of the mobile agent to be known, thus combining visual, inertial, and navigational information into a coherent scheme. Experiments showing the viability of this approach are presented and a sensitivity analysis with random, zero-mean Gaussian noise is provided.

Navigation of Spacetime Ships in Unified Gravitational and Electromagnetic Waves

On the basis of a “local” principle of equivalence of general relativity, we consider a navigation in a kind of “4D-ocean” involving measurements of conformally invariant physical properties only. Then, applying the Pfaff theory for PDE to a particular conformally equivariant system of differential equations, we show the dependency of any kind of function describing “spacetime waves”, with resp...

Bulk Viscous Bianchi Type VI0 Cosmological Model in the Self-creation Theory of Gravitation and in the General Theory of Relativity

In the second self-creation theory of gravitation and in the general theory of relativity, Bianchi type VI0 cosmological model in the presence of viscous fluid is studied. An exact solution of the field equations is given by considering the cosmological model yields a constant decelerations parameter q=constant and the coefficients of the metric are taken as A(t)=[c1t+c<su...

Bulk viscous string cosmological models in Saez – Ballester theory of gravitation

Spatially homogeneous Bianchi type-II, VIII and IX anisotropic, as well as isotropic cosmological models can be obtained in a scalar tensor theory of gravitation proposed by Saez and Ballester (1986) when the source for energy momentum tensor is a bulk viscous fluid containing one-dimensional cosmic strings. All the models obtained and presented here are expanding, non-rotating and accelerating...

ArticleA Kalman Filter for SINS Self-Alignment Based on Vector ObservationXiang Xu 1

In this paper, a self-alignment method for strapdown inertial navigation systems based on the q-method is studied. In addition, an improved method based on integrating gravitational apparent motion to form apparent velocity is designed, which can reduce the random noises of the observation vectors. For further analysis, a novel self-alignment method using a Kalman filter based on adaptive filte...

System model of an inertial navigation system using SystemC-AMS

This paper presents an approach for modeling an inertial navigation system. This system consists of a 3D acceleration and rotation sensor array, analog and digital error correction, gravitation compensation, supporting point extraction, serial interface and software application. Analogue interfaces are described on lowest abstraction level to allow easy exchange and refinement of components. Mo...
