A Strong Tracking SLAM Algorithm Based on the Suboptimal Fading Factor

الملخص EN

This paper proposes an innovative simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithm which combines a strong tracking filter (STF), an unscented Kalman filter (UKF), and a particle filter (PF) to deal with the low accuracy of unscented FastSLAM (UFastSLAM).

UFastSLAM lacks the capacity for online self-adaptive adjustment, and it is easily influenced by uncertain noise.

The new algorithm updates each Sigma point in UFastSLAM by an adaptive algorithm and obtains optimized filter gain by the STF adjustment factor.

It restrains the influence of uncertain noise and initial selection.

Therefore, the state estimation would converge to the true value rapidly and the accuracy of system state estimation would be improved eventually.

The results of simulations and practical tests show that strong tracking unscented FastSLAM (STUFastSLAM) has a significant improvement in accuracy and robustness.
