The analysis of effect of observation models and data associations on the consistency of EKF SLAM

Abstract

Analysis on causes of inconsistency of Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) Simultaneous Localization And Mapping (SLAM) is mentioned in this paper. The effect of noise models and observation models on the inconsistent behavior of EKF SLAM was examined. In addition, the effect of registration of the false landmarks on inconsistent behavior of the EKF SLAM is mentioned in this paper. This paper identifies several causes of inconsistency of EKF SLAM by observability analysis.
