The proposed system does not rely on external infrastructure and does not make any geometric assumptions on the environment. Point to point navigation tasks are addressed as these are typical for search and rescue scenarios. Therefore, a high accuracy odometry approach is applied. The proposed system fuses sensor data of a mono camera, an IMU and a barometer. In particular, a filter-based approach to visual inertial odometry (VIO) is extended by the fusion with a barometer. Additionally, a tightly coupling between image processing and filter state is applied such that a robust feature tracking and a standstill detection is achieved. The proposed system is evaluated with both simulated and real world datasets. The navigation solution is estimated consistently at IMU rate. The final position error is below one percent of the distance traveled on real world datasets.","PeriodicalId":243907,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th Saint Petersburg International Conference on Integrated Navigation Systems (ICINS)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124881627","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The contribution of each object movement to the total error is determined by the relative location of the nodes, the in-formativeness of navigation field and the rate of increase of the coordinate errors of a map-matching navigation system. It is calculated with the use of the covariance channel of the Kalman filter. The use of numerical methods for solving transportation problems is proposed to find the optimal object trajectory.

The presence of terrain obstacles, for instance in urban, mountain or forest environments, significantly effects the accuracy of GNSS measurements due to signal reception blockage and the multipath effect. In case of such hard observational conditions an accurate mission planning is still essential despite the large number of satellites in GNSS systems constellations. Currently there is a variety of mission planning software. Most of those applications allow to create hand-drawn polar obstruction diagrams. This task can be performed more accurately by applying some semi-automated terrain obstacles modelling methods. Hemispherical photography, despite its large amount of distortions, can be successfully used in many areas, such as forest research, meteorology and surveying. This kind of image offers the advantage of providing spatially resolved information of all obstacles above the measurement point. Therefore it can be used as a tool for GNSS site satellite window diagram direct determining. In previous research authors have successfully tested terrain obstacles models obtained from terrestrial laser scanning and digital hemispherical photography (Nikon D90 12.3 megapixel digital semi-professional camera with Sigma 8mm f/3.5 EX DG circular fish-eye lens). Current study describes a method for rapid capturing the terrain obstacles by cheap and simple smartphones fisheye lens. Additionally authors describe method of smartphone camera levelling with the use of AHRS algorithm and development of centering method based on smartphone front camera image. Main aim of the research is to investigate the suitability of cheap fisheye lens for modeling terrain obstacles over the GNSS measurement points.","PeriodicalId":243907,"journal":{"name":"2018 25th Saint Petersburg International Conference on Integrated Navigation Systems (ICINS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130572812","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Moon is the first space body to be explored by the terrestrial civilization, and the 21st century may see the beginning of a geopolitical competition for the natural resources of the Moon. Implementation of the lunar exploration program will provide a stepping stone to deep space exploration, development of a circumlunar infrastructure, starting manned missions to the lunar surface and, in the long run, establishing an outpost on the lunar surface in the interests of the Russian program of fundamental and applied space research, as well as future manned missions to Mars and other bodies of the Solar system. In order to successfully accomplish a manned mission to the Moon, a number of engineering problems need to be solved, one of which is autonomous navigation in circumlunar flight. Up to a certain distance of the spacecraft (SC) from Earth the orbital parameters and corrective burns can be generated from data received from the ground tracking system. In addition to it, data from the onboard satellite navigation equipment can be used. However, in the vicinity of the Moon and during the time when the Moon blocks the view of Earth from the SC, corrective burns need to be generated with inputs from autonomous navigation measurements. Such measurements are usually taken with special optical instruments and sensors, which are used to determine directions towards selected stars, as well as the positions of the Moon, Earth and the Sun. It is also possible to use pictures of the planet to determine the SC orbital parameters. Moreover, the current state of the art of the professional digital photographic equipment makes it possible for the crew to use for autonomous navigation measurement not only special photographic equipment, but also common (off-the-shelf) still camera, just by taking hand-held shots of the sunlit lunar surface through a window. Pictures of the lunar surface taken with a digital camera can then be transferred by the crew to an onboard laptop computer and subjected to any transformations, including those that allow determining the survey point, that is, the spatial position of the camera at the moment when the picture was taken. If need be, these data, which have been independently computed by the crew, can then be entered into the control system. In addition to the existing navigation methods, such lunar photography can be used, for example, to set up a backup, monitoring or emergency autonomous navigation system. The paper proposes a technique for determining the SC position using pictures of the planetary surface. It discusses the experience of development testing of the proposed technique and cites examples of using the technique as applied to the images taken by the ISS cosmonauts within the framework of experiments “Uragan”, “Vizir”, “Vector-T”.
