Abstract:
The strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS) is widely used in autonomous vehicles. However, the random drift error of gyroscope leads to serious accumulated navigation errors during long continuous operation of SINS alone. In this paper, we propose to combine the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) data with the line feature parameters from a camera to improve the navigation accuracy. The proposed method can also maintain the autonomy of the navigation system. Experimental results show that the proposed inertial-visual navigation system can mitigate the SINS drift and improve the accuracy, stability, and reliability of the navigation system.

Drugs Acting on Autonomic Ganglia: Stimulants
Ganglionic stimulants activate NM nicotinic receptors in autonomic ganglia, falling into two categories: nicotine mimetics [e.g., lobeline, dimethylpiperazine, tetramethylammonium] and muscarinic receptor agonists [e.g., muscarine, methacholine]. The first category's action is rapid and blocked by nicotinic receptor antagonists, while the second category's action is delayed and blocked by atropine-like agents. Nicotine, an alkaloid, affects the heart rate by stimulating...
