the uncertainty of initializing new landmark in EKF-SLAM

In EKF-SLAM (based-feature map) once the robot senses a new landmark, it is augmented to state vector. As a result, the size of the state vector and the covariance matrix are expanded. My question is ...

How to avoid matrix singularity in GraphSLAM

I am trying to implement GraphSLAM from Sebastian Thrun's paper, The GraphSLAM Algorithm with Applications to Large-Scale Mapping of Urban Structures. When I compute the inverse of my information ...

Calculate the uncertainty of a 6-dof pose for graph-based SLAM

This question is strongly related to my other question over here. I am estimating 6-DOF poses $x_{i}$ of a trajectory using a graph-based SLAM approach. The estimation is based on 6-DOF ...

How is gyroscope bias exposed and tracked?

For an accelerometer, the measurement is defined in the following way: $$a_m = R_w^b(a_{w} - g) + b_a + v_a$$ Where $R$ is a rotation matrix, $g$ is gravity, $v_a$ is noise, and $b_a$ is the bias. ...

EKF localization data association

I am working with ROS indigo and clearpath huskyA200 and wanted to implement the EKF localization with unknown correspondences with my own hokuyo lidar data for a school project. Giving the algorithm ...

how to plot $\pm 3 \sigma$ of a landmark in EKF-SLAM

I have implemented 2D-SLAM using EKF. The map is based-feature in which there is only one landmark for the sake of simplicity. I've read some papers regarding this matter. They plot the $\pm3\sigma$ ...
