The majority of commercial and open-source autopilot software for uncrewed aerial vehicles rely on the tried and tested extended Kalman filter (EKF) to provide the state estimation solution for the inertial navigation system (INS). While modern implementations achieve remarkable robustness, it is often due to the careful implementation of exception code for a multitude of corner cases along with significant skilled tuning effort. In this paper, we use the data wealth of the ArduPilot community to identify and highlight the most common real-world challenges in INS state estimation, including sensor self-calibration, robustness in static conditions, global navigation satellite system (GNSS) outliers and shifts, and robustness to faulty inertial measurement units (IMUs). We propose a novel equivariant filter (EqF) formulation for the INS solution that exploits a Semi-Direct-Bias symmetry group for multi-sensor fusion with self-calibration capabilities and incorporates equivariant velocity-type measurements. We augment the filter with a simple innovation-covariance inflation strategy that seamlessly handles GNSS outliers and shifts without requiring coding of a whole set of exception cases. We use real-world data from the Ardupilot community to demonstrate the performance of the proposed filter on known cases where existing filters fail without careful exception handling or case-specific tuning and benchmark against the ArduPilot’s EKF3, the most sophisticated EKF implementation currently available.

arXiv 2024年

This letter proposes a new approach for Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) preintegration, a fundamental building block that can be leveraged in different optimization-based Inertial Navigation System (INS) localization solutions. Inspired by recent advances in equivariant theory applied to biased INSs, we derive a discrete-time formulation of the IMU preintegration on Gal(3) ⋈ gal(3), the left-trivialization of the tangent group of the Galilean group Gal(3). We define a novel preintegration error that geometrically couples the navigation states and the bias leading to lower linearization error. Our method improves in consistency compared to existing preintegration approaches which treat IMU biases as a separate state-space. Extensive validation against state-of-the-art methods, both in simulation and with real-world IMU data, implementation in the Lie++ library, and open-source code are provided.

MSCEqF: A Multi State Constraint Equivariant Filter for Vision-aided Inertial Navigation

This letter re-visits the problem of visual-inertial navigation system (VINS) and presents a novel filter design we dub the multi state constraint equivariant filter (MSCEqF, in analogy to the well known MSCKF). We define a symmetry group and corresponding group action that allow specifically the design of an equivariant filter for the problem of visual-inertial odometry (VIO) including IMU bias, and camera intrinsic and extrinsic calibration states. In contrast to state-of-the-art invariant extended Kalman filter (IEKF) approaches that simply tack IMU bias and other states onto the SE2(3) group, our filter builds upon a symmetry that properly includes all the states in the group structure. Thus, we achieve improved behavior, particularly when linearization points largely deviate from the truth (i.e., on transients upon state disturbances). Our approach is inherently consistent even during convergence phases from significant errors without the need for error uncertainty adaptation, observability constraint, or other consistency enforcing techniques. This leads to greatly improved estimator behavior for significant error and unexpected state changes during, e.g., long-duration missions. We evaluate our approach with a multitude of different experiments using three different prominent real-world datasets. Copyright © 2023, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Equivariant Symmetries for Inertial Navigation Systems

This paper investigates the problem of inertial navigation system (INS) filter design through the lens of symmetry. The extended Kalman filter (EKF) and its variants, have been the staple of INS filtering for 50 years;however, recent advances in inertial navigation systems have exploited matrix Lie group structure to design stochastic filters and state observers that have been shown to display superior performance compared to classical solutions. In this work, we consider the case where a vehicle has an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver. We show that all the modern variants of the EKF for these sensors can be interpreted as the recently proposed Equivariant Filter (EqF) design methodology applied to different choices of symmetry group for the INS problem. This leads us to propose two new symmetries for the INS problem that have not been considered in the prior literature, and provide a discussion of the relative strengths and weaknesses of all the different algorithms. We believe the collection of symmetries that we present here capture all the sensible choices of symmetry for this problem and sensor suite, and that the analysis provided is indicative of the relative real-world performance potential of the different algorithms.

Equivariant filter design for inertial navigation systems with input measurement biases

Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) are a key technology for autonomous vehicles applications. Recent advances in estimation and filter design for the INS problem have exploited geometry and symmetry to overcome limitations of the classical Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) approach that formed the mainstay of INS systems since the mid-twentieth century. The industry standard INS filter, the Multiplicative Extended Kalman Filter (MEKF), uses a geometric construction for attitude estimation coupled with classical Euclidean construction for position, velocity and bias estimation. The recent Invariant Extended Kalman Filter (IEKF) provides a geometric framework for the full navigation states, integrating attitude, position and velocity, but still uses the classical Euclidean construction to model the bias states. In this paper, we use the recently proposed Equivariant Filter (EqF) framework to derive a novel observer for biased inertial-based navigation in a fully geometric framework. The introduction of virtual velocity inputs with associated virtual bias leads to a full equivariant symmetry on the augmented system. The resulting filter performance is evaluated with both simulated and realworld data, and demonstrates increased robustness to a wide range of erroneous initial conditions, and improved accuracy when compared with the industry standard Multiplicative EKF (MEKF) approach.

Overcoming Bias: Equivariant Filter Design for Biased Attitude Estimation with Online Calibration

arXiv

Stochastic filters for on-line state estimation are a core technology for autonomous systems. The performance of such filters is one of the key limiting factors to a system’s capability. Both asymptotic behavior (e.g., for regular operation) and transient response (e.g., for fast initialization and reset) of such filters are of crucial importance in guaranteeing robust operation of autonomous systems. This paper introduces a new generic formulation for a gyroscope aided attitude estimator using N direction measurements including both body-frame and reference-frame direction type measurements. The approach is based on an integrated state formulation that incorporates navigation, extrinsic calibration for all direction sensors, and gyroscope bias states in a single equivariant geometric structure. This newly proposed symmetry allows modular addition of different direction measurements and their extrinsic calibration while maintaining the ability to include bias states in the same symmetry. The subsequently proposed filter-based estimator using this symmetry noticeably improves the transient response, and the asymptotic bias and extrinsic calibration estimation compared to state-of-the-art approaches. The estimator is verified in statistically representative simulations and is tested in real-world experiments. Copyright © 2022, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Revisiting "Consensus-based energy-management in smart grid with transmission losses and directed communication"

We discovered a deficiency in Algorithm 1 and Theorem 3 of [1]. The algorithm called CEMA aims to solve an energy management problem distributively. However, by means of a counter example, we show that Theorem 2 and 3 of [1] contradict each other in the case of a valid scenario, proving that the suggested algorithm does not always find the optimum. Furthermore, we provide theoretic results, showing that Theorem 3 of [1] does not hold generally. At last, we provide a rectification by adjusting the algorithm and the corresponding proof of Theorem 3. Copyright © 2020, The Authors. All rights reserved.

Bandit Learning in Convex Non-Strictly Monotone Games

arXiv

作者： Tatarenko, Tatiana Kamgarpour, Maryam The Department of Control Theory and Robotics TU Darmstadt Germany The EPFL School of Engineering Sycamore Lab Switzerland

We address learning Nash equilibria in convex games under the payoff information setting. We consider the case in which the game pseudo-gradient is monotone but not necessarily strictly monotone. This relaxation of strict monotonicity enables application of learning algorithms to a larger class of games, such as, for example, a zero-sum game with a merely convex-concave cost function. We derive an algorithm whose iterates provably converge to the least-norm Nash equilibrium in this setting. From the perspective of a single player using the proposed algorithm, we view the game as an instance of online optimization. Through this lens, we quantify the regret rate of the algorithm and provide an approach to choose the algorithm's parameters to minimize the regret rate. © 2020, CC BY.

Grid mapping in dynamic road environments: Classification of dynamic cell hypothesis via tracking

Grid mapping in dynamic road environments: Classification of...

We propose a method capable of acquiring an occupancy grid map-based representation of the local, static driving environment around an intelligent vehicle in the presence of dynamic objects. These corrupt the representation due to violating the underlying static-world assumptions of common grid mapping algorithms and are therefore detected and filtered from the map. For this purpose, a subsequent step is suggested that identifies, clusters and merges dynamic cell hypothesis in a novel way. Thereafter, an Interacting-Multiple-Model-Unscented-Kalman-Probabilistic-Data-Association (IMM-UK-PDA) tracker is used to classify of whether cell movements behave consistently with possible movement characteristics of real dynamic objects or are just generated by noise or newly observed static environment. In opposition to many other approaches, the method explicitly combines information of newly occupied and free areas, completes the shape of only partly visible dynamic objects and uses an advanced object tracking scheme to clean the grid from dynamic object corruptions. The method is evaluated with grids generated by an automotive radar and stereo camera in real traffic environments.

22nd European Symposium on Artificial Neural Networks, Computational Intelligence and Machine Learning, ESANN 2014

Statistical image descriptors based on histograms (e.g. SIFT [1], HOG [2]) are widely used in image processing, because they are fast and simple methods with high classification performance. However, they discard the local spatial topology and thus lose discriminative information contained in the image. We discuss the relations between HOG and VNMF descriptors, i.e. structure free histograms versus learned structure-preserving patterns. VNMF is a shift-invariant, sparse, nonnegative unsupervised learning algorithm [8, 9, 5], that provides a distinct decomposition of the input into its parts. The VNMF descriptor outperforms the statistical HOG descriptor, because it preserves spatial topology leading to better classification results on real-world human action recognition benchmarks [11, 12].
