GNSS/Low-Cost MEMS-INS Integration Using Variational Bayesian Adaptive Cubature Kalman Smoother and Ensemble Regularized ELM

Abstract

Among the inertial navigation system (INS) devices used in land vehicle navigation (LVN), low-cost microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) inertial sensors have received more interest for bridging global navigation satellites systems (GNSS) signal failures because of their price and portability. Kalman filter (KF) based GNSS/INS integration has been widely used to provide a robust solution to the navigation. However, its prediction model cannot give satisfactory results in the presence of colored and variational noise. In order to achieve reliable and accurate positional solution for LVN in urban areas surrounded by skyscrapers or under dense foliage and tunnels, a novel model combining variational Bayesian adaptive Kalman smoother (VB-ACKS) as an alternative of KF and ensemble regularized extreme learning machine (ERELM) for bridging global positioning systems outages is proposed. The ERELM is applied to reduce the fluctuating performance of GNSS during an outage. We show that a well-organized collection of predictors using ensemble learning yields a more accurate positional result when compared with conventional artificial neural network (ANN) predictors. Experimental results show that the performance of VB-ACKS is more robust compared with KF solution, and the prediction of ERELM contains the smallest error compared with other ANN solutions.

Improved simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm combined with semantic segmentation model

“…At present, the localization theory of visual SLAM is mainly divided into two categories. The first category is called feature point method, which extracts pixel-level feature points from pictures, and calculates geometric relations to obtain rotation matrix and translation information, 8 and then obtains the final localization result (ORB-SLAM 9 and ORB-SLAM2). The second category is the direct method, which calculates the minimum photometric error to get the optimized rotation matrix and translation information Semi-Direct Monocular Visual Odometry (SVO 10 and LSD-SLAM).…”

“…Various AI algorithms have been applied in compensating the precision loss due to GPS loss for the GPS/INS integrating system, such as the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) [6], support vector machine (SVM) [7][8][9], feedforward network (FNN) [5], wavelet neural network (WNN) [3], and ensemble learning algorithm [10,11]. AI-based methods proceeded remarkable prediction improvement in this field.…”
