A Multi-Sensor Data Fusion Method for Navigation
نویسندگان
چکیده
A data fusion method based on navigation observations from multiple sensors with asynchronous sampling rates is presented aiming at the accomplishment of an optimal navigation result. Firstly, the observation estimations of navigation sensors at the same designated time are obtained through the fitting or interpolation algorithms based on the multi-sensors’ measurements at different times, which solves the observation inconsistency resulting from asynchronous sampling frequencies of multi-sensors. Secondly, the optimal navigation result is achieved through assigning appropriate weights to the above observations or estimations based on the relationships among them. Finally, the data fusion method is validated by simulation, and the results demonstrate that it can effectively reduce the observation noises of multi-sensors and improve the accuracy of navigation.

A Hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS Sensor Fusion with WLFP for Flying Robo-SAR's Navigation
In this paper, we present the results of a hierarchical SLAM/GPS/INS/WLFP sensor fusion to be used in navigation system devices. Due to low quality of the inertial sensors, even a short-term GPS failure can lower the integrated navigation performance significantly. In addition, in GPS denied environments, most navigation systems need a separate assisting resource, in order to increase the avail...

This paper presents a new optimal data fusion methodology based on the adaptive fading unscented Kalman filter for multi-sensor nonlinear stochastic systems. This methodology has a two-level fusion structure: at the bottom level, an adaptive fading unscented Kalman filter based on the Mahalanobis distance is developed and serves as local filters to improve the adaptability and robustness of loc...
متن کاملNavigation in Difficult Environments: Multi-Sensor Fusion Techniques
This paper focuses on multi-sensor fusion for navigation in difficult environments where none of the existing navigation technologies can satisfy requirements for accurate and reliable navigation if used in a stand-alone mode. A generic multi-sensor fusion approach is presented. This approach builds the navigation mechanization around a self-contained inertial navigator, which is used as a core...
