Abstract:
This paper presents a description of the ‘sensor fusion’ algorithm for our proprietary new navigation system, the LS_NAV, which is based on laser range scanning data inside natural environment. The fusion is exploited between odometric navigation and the LS_NAV. In the proposed algorithm the accuracy of both navigation systems is estimated as a function of the actual manoeuvre being carried out. The method allows compensating the drift of the incremental system estimation, high data rate and noise reduction of the LS_NAV estimates. Experimental verification is carried out using an autonomous vehicle.
