چکیده
In order to reduce the estimated errors of the inertial navigation system (INS)/Wireless sensor network (WSN)-integrated navigation for mobile robots indoors, this work proposes an on-line iterated extended Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoothing (IERTSS) utilizing inertial measuring units (IMUs) and an ultrasonic positioning system. In this mode, an iterated Extended Kalman filter (IEKF) is used in forward data processing of the Extended Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoothing (ERTSS) to improve the accuracy of the filtering output for the smoother. Furthermore, in order to achieve the on-line smoothing, IERTSS is embedded into the average filter. For verification, a real indoor test has been done to assess the performance of the proposed method. The results show that the proposed method is effective in reducing the errors compared with the conventional schemes.

Improving multimodal data fusion for mobile robots by trajectory smoothing
Localization of mobile robots is still an important topic, especially in case of dynamically changing, complex environments such as in Urban Search & Rescue (USAR). In this paper we aim for improving the reliability and precision of localization of our multimodal data fusion algorithm. Multimodal data fusion requires resolving several issues such as significantly different sampling frequencies ...

This article considers the application of the unscented transformation to approximate fixed-interval optimal smoothing of continuous-time non-linear stochastic systems. The proposed methodology can be applied to systems, where the dynamics can be modeled with non-linear stochastic differential equations and the noise corrupted measurements are obtained continuously or at discrete times. The smo...

متن کاملRemarks on filtering of semi-markov data
This paper tries to give some insight about relationships between Viterbi and Forward-backward algorithm (used in the context of Hidden Markov Models) on one hand and Kalman ltering and Rauch-Tung-Striebel smoothing on the other. We give an unifying view which shows how those algorithms are related and give an example of an hybrid system which can be ltered through a mixed algorithm. Remarques ...
