Abstract: |
GNSS (global navigation satellite systems) are unavailable in challenging environments such as urban canyon and indoor locations due to signal blocking and jamming. Camera/IMU (inertial measurement units) integrated navigation systems can be alternatives to GNSS. In this paper, a tightly coupled Camera/IMU algorithm modeled by IEKF (iterated extended kalman filter) is presented. This tight integration approach uses image generated pixel coordinates to update the Kalman Filter directly. The developed algorithm is verified by a hybrid simulation, i.e. using inertial data from field test to fuse with simulated image feature measurements. The results show that the tight approach is superior to the loose integration when the image measurements are insufficient (i.e. less than three ground control points). |
