Navigation with Signals and Constraints of Opportunity Exploiting Unstructured Environments for State Estimation

Langue : Anglais

Couverture de l’ouvrage Navigation with Signals and Constraints of Opportunity

Navigation with Signals and Constraints of Opportunity: Exploiting Unstructured Environments for State Estimation offers a conceptual framework for navigation and positioning using these sensors on the lines of standard control theory and dealing with navigation as state estimation in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Using signals and constraints of opportunity, the book shows how geomagnetic field, topography (changes in the direction of g locally), landmarks, angles to celestial bodies, local acoustics and presence of magnetic fields, and changes in background radiation (radio signals, Wi-Fi, etc.) can be integrated for accurate geolocation in place, or in conjunction with, GPS to aid inertial navigation.

Accelerometers, gyroscopes, cameras, magnetometers, microphones, and several other sensors are currently being produced in industrial scale, and as miniaturization advances, both price and portability are decreasing.

The authors have created and integrated several sensors that could be incorporated in navigation systems, cellphones, or automated irrigation devices. In this book, the fundamental problem of navigation is stated and the use of signals of opportunity is detailed and integrated into an alternative navigation framework.

Dr. Kartik Ariyur, is head of University of Purdue’s Autonomous Systems Laboratory, focuses his research on navigation with natural signals, energy management, autonomous path and mission planning, and active security management. His research is motivated by maximizing efficiency and reducing energy costs, as well as improving facility security with minimal human intervention necessary. Dr. Ariyur has published 11 journal articles, presented 33 conference papers, written 2 books, and holds 9 patents. Prior to coming to Purdue, Dr. Ariyur worked at Honeywell Labs, where he worked on a range of problems in guidance, navigation, control, health monitoring, system verification and surveillance.

He has received his M.S and Ph.D. degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering from the University of California- San Diego in 1999 and 2000 respectively
