GPS vector receive make the tasks of signal tracking and navigation state estimation are integrated into an algorithm which can complement traditional scalar receiver tracking independent and parallel tracking disadvantage. Through integration with INS, the GPS signal in jamming or weak environment based on vector tracking ultra-tightly coupled GNSS/INS integration system has significant advant...

The deployment of infrastructure-less ad hoc networks is suffering from the lack of applications inspite of active research over a decade. This problem can be alleviated by porting successful legacy Internet applications and protocols to the ad hoc network domain. Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is designed to provide the signaling support to multimedia applications such as Voice over IP (VoI...

Location concepts are still not part of today’s Web architecture, which means that applications must rely on higher-level specifications to use and provide location-oriented services. This problem can be approached in two different approaches, the first being a tightly coupled approach for scenarios targeting an integrated system architecture, and the second being a loosely coupled approach, be...

Vision-based localization systems, namely visual odometry (VO) and inertial (VIO), have attracted great attention recently. They are regarded as critical modules for building fully autonomous systems. The simplicity of state estimators, along with their applicability in resource-constrained platforms motivated robotic community to research develop novel approaches that maximize robustness relia...
