Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

417
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments

562
Electronic Distance Measuring Instruments (EDMs) are essential tools in modern surveying, offering precise distance measurements by emitting electromagnetic signals and calculating the time required for these signals to travel to a target and return. Two primary types of signals are used in EDMs — light waves and microwaves — each suited to specific environmental and distance requirements. Light-wave-based EDMs utilize either infrared or laser light, providing high accuracy over...

Errors in Global Positioning System

365
Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has revolutionized navigation and positioning, but its accuracy is often compromised by various errors. These errors, stemming from environmental, satellite, and receiver-related factors, require careful mitigation to ensure reliable performance across applications.Atmospheric ErrorsGPS signals travel through the Earth’s ionosphere and troposphere, introducing delays which affect accuracy. The ionosphere is strongly influenced by charged particles,...

GPS surveying methods vary in application, accuracy, and data collection techniques, catering to diverse surveying and mapping needs. Static GPS, kinematic GPS, and real-time kinematic (RTK) surveying are widely used. Each technique offers distinct advantages.Static GPS involves placing one receiver at a known reference point and another at the target point. It collects exact positional data by observing multiple satellite ranges over an extended period, achieving centimeter-level accuracy for...

Galvanometer

3.1K
Common devices, including car instrument panels, battery chargers, and inexpensive electrical instruments, measure potential difference (voltage), current, or resistance using a d'Arsonval galvanometer. This electromechanical instrument is also known as a moving coil galvanometer.
The galvanometer consists of  two concave-shaped permanent magnets, providing a uniform radial magnetic field in the annular region. In the center, a pivoted coil of fine copper wire is placed in the uniform...

Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Computer Vision
  • Sensor Fusion

Background:

  • Visual-inertial navigation systems (VINS) are crucial for robotic and augmented reality applications, relying heavily on visual data.
  • Current VINS struggle in environments lacking visual features (e.g., low-light, texture-less areas).
  • Magneto-inertial dead-reckoning (MI-DR) uses magnetic disturbances for velocity estimation but is limited by low magnetic gradients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To fuse monocular camera data with MI-DR techniques.
  • To enhance the robustness of both VINS and MI-DR systems.
  • To expand the operational domain of mobile augmented reality systems.

Main Methods:

  • Implemented an inverse square root filter inspired by the MSCKF algorithm.
  • Fused data from a commercial-grade camera with a custom magneto-inertial measurement unit (MIMU) sensor.
  • Collected and analyzed navigation results on a real-world dataset.

Main Results:

  • The fused VINS-MI-DR system demonstrated significantly higher robustness compared to pure VINS.
  • Improved navigation performance was observed in visually uninformative areas.
  • The system successfully navigated using a combination of visual and magnetic sensor data.

Conclusions:

  • Fusing VINS and MI-DR offers a more robust navigation solution for mobile applications.
  • This hybrid approach overcomes limitations of vision-only or magnetic-only systems.
  • The enhanced robustness extends the applicability of augmented reality and robotic systems in diverse environments.
