Visual-UWB Navigation System for Unknown Environments [article]

Qin Shi, Xiaowei Cui, Wei Li, Yu Xia, Mingquan Lu
2019 arXiv   pre-print
In this paper, we present a novel accurate, robust and low-cost GNSS-independent navigation system, which is composed of a monocular camera and Ultra-wideband (UWB) transceivers.  ...  We propose a visual-UWB Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm which tightly combines visual and UWB measurements to form a joint non-linear optimization problem on Lie-Manifold.  ...  However, as a navigation system, the UWB-only method can rarely enable the vehicle to avoid collisions, due to the fact that a comprehensive map of the environment cannot be obtained.  ...
