Active Online Calibration of Multiple Sensors for Autonomous Surface Vessels
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach to actively calibrate the exteroceptive sensors of an Autonomous Surface Vessel (ASV) autonomously. The approach consists of locating suitable calibration sites in the environment from aerial imagery, navigating to them, gathering calibration data and estimating the required parameters from data. We have conducted experiments using an ASV in a lake to validate our approach.

A Self-Reconstructing Algorithm for Single and Multiple-Sensor Fault Isolation Based on Auto-Associative Neural Networks
Recently different approaches have been developed in the field of sensor fault diagnostics based on Auto-Associative Neural Network (AANN). In this paper we present a novel algorithm called Self reconstructing Auto-Associative Neural Network (S-AANN) which is able to detect and isolate single faulty sensor via reconstruction. We have also extended the algorithm to be applicable in multiple faul...

متن کاملAutonomous Multisensor Calibration and Closed-loop Fusion for SLAM
The vast majority of current robot mapping and navigation systems require specific, well-characterized sensors that may require human-supervised calibration and are applicable only in one type of environment. Furthermore, if a sensor degrades in performance, either through damage to itself or changes in environmental conditions, the effect on the mapping system is usually catastrophic. In contr...
