Description
Summary:Motion estimation is an open research field in control and robotic applications. Sensor fusion algorithms are generally used to achieve an accurate estimation of the vehicle motion by combining heterogeneous sensors measurements with different statistical characteristics. In this paper, a new method that combines measurements provided by an inertial sensor and a vision system is presented. Compared to classical modelbased techniques, the method relies on a Pareto optimization that trades off the statistical properties of the measurements. The proposed technique is evaluated with simulations in terms of computational requirements and estimation accuracy with respect to a classical Kalman filter approach. It is shown that the proposed method gives an improved estimation accuracy at the cost of a slightly increased computational complexity.
