Mobile Robot Localization Based on Vision and Multisensor

open access: yesJournal of Robotics, 2020
To deal with the low accuracy of positioning for mobile robots when only using visual sensors and an IMU, a method based on tight coupling and nonlinear optimization is proposed to obtain a high-precision visual positioning scheme by combining measured ...

Creating a Critical Zone: Feedbacks Between Bedrock Geology, Water Retention, and Vegetation on an Exposed Bedrock Surface, Panola Mountain, Georgia, USA

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Most of Earth's present‐day terrestrial surface is covered by regolith—the layers of soil, saprolite, and weathered bedrock that together comprise the critical zone. Recent research has focused on understanding fluxes of minerals, water, and energy through the critical zone under steady state assumptions.

Honeybee navigation: nature and calibration of the "odometer"

open access: yes, 2000
There are two theories about how honeybees estimate the distance to food sources. One theory proposes that distance flown is estimated in terms of energy consumption.

Robust Autonomous Navigation for Unmanned Platforms Based on Adaptive Factor Graph Optimization

open access: yesIET Intelligent Transport Systems, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This paper proposes a novel approach to enhancing the reliability of autonomous navigation systems in complex environments, such as urban canyons, dense forests and areas with strong electromagnetic interference. An adaptive factor is introduced into the graph optimization algorithm, which dynamically adjusts sensor fusion based on real‐time ...

Constitutive Modeling of Unsaturated Soils using Results from Suction Controlled Odometer Tests

open access: yes, 2015
Suction-controlled triaxial tests have been widely used to characterize unsaturated soil behavior for the constitutive modelling purpose. This type of tests requires sophisticated and therefore expensive equipment, is time-consuming and unreliable, and ...

Accurate and Efficient LiDAR SLAM by Learning Unified Neural Descriptors

open access: yesIEEE Access
Point clouds generated by LiDAR sensors have been widely exploited in Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM). However, existing LiDAR SLAM approaches based on hand-crafted features easily suffer from being either overly sparse or dense, causing low-

Lever Arm Compensation for GPS/INS/Odometer Integrated System

open access: yes, 2006
For more accurate navigation, lever arm compensation is considered. The compensation method for GPS and an odometer is introduced and new compensation methods are proposed for an odometer to consider the effect of coordinate transformation errors and ...

An Experimental Study of Odometer as a Navigation aid for Land Vehicle Application [PDF]

open access: yes
Strap-down inertial navigation system (SINS) shall provide position, velocity, and orientation information with reference to a pre-defined reference frame. The SINS shall have excellent accuracy over a short duration and is highly self-contained. However,

Localization and mapping algorithm based on Lidar-IMU-Camera fusion

open access: yesJournal of Intelligent and Connected Vehicles
Positioning and mapping technology is a difficult and hot topic in autonomous driving environment sensing systems. In a complex traffic environment, the signal of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) will be blocked, leading to inaccurate ...
