Abstract |
An INS/vision integrated navigation algorithm is proposed for environments with insufficient number of landmarks. In the proposed algorithm, the raw measurements on the focal plane are directly used in order to cope with the situation where the number of landmarks are not sufficient. In addition to this, the combination of landmarks, which has smallest value of DOP, is used in the update of measurement in order to improve navigation performance. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed integrated navigation system, Monte-Carlo simulation and van test was performed. The results of the simulation and experiment show that the proposed navigation system gives better navigation performance than an INS/vision integrated navigation system which does not use the raw measurements on the focal plane and the navigation system provides navigation solutions even in environments with insufficient number of landmarks. |
