Making Sense of Sensor Fusion for Positioning
The Key to Accurate and Reliable Location Information In today’s technology-driven world, accurate and reliable positioning information has become indispensable for numerous applications, ranging from navigation systems to augmented reality experiences. However, achieving pinpoint accuracy in location-based services is no easy feat, especially considering the diverse environments and conditions in which these systems operate. Relying […]
Integrity Monitoring for Positioning Autonomous Vehicles & Robots
Autonomous vehicles and robots are becoming increasingly common in our daily lives, from food delivery robots navigating residential sidewalks to self-driving cars navigating highways. However, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the positioning information used in these applications is critical to autonomous or semi-autonomous applications. It involves knowing when to teleoperate a machine in the […]
Revolutionizing Autonomous Machines & Vehicles – To Improve Positioning Accuracy, TDK Trusted Positioning Created a High-Quality Radar Map of Downtown Detroit
Our journey began in Calgary, where we hired a Lidar company to create a city Lidar map for research and development purposes. By using this Lidar map, we were able to achieve maps with a resolution of 10cm (about 4 in) and decimeter-level positioning accuracy using our INS, GPS, and radar software solution called AUTO. […]
Integrity Monitoring and Uncertainty Estimation with AUTO’s Non-linear Integration of Multiple Imaging Radars and INS/GNSS for Autonomous Vehicles and Robots
Solving the localization problem is a key requirement to enabling the development of autonomous platforms. In the field of autonomous driving, the localization problem imposes two criteria on the navigation solution: solution accuracy and solution reliability or integrity. Integrity monitoring describes the solution trustworthiness and is critical to ensuring safety. A conventional approach in urban […]
Multiple Imaging Radars Integrate with INS/GNSS via AUTO Software Reliable and Accurate Positioning for Autonomous Vehicles and Robots
Difficult GNSS environments and adverse weather conditions require a fusion of many sensors to maintain lane-level accuracy for autonomous platforms, without incurring high costs that would inhibit widespread adoption. Radars are an attractive option in a multi-sensor integration scheme due to being robust to adverse weather and insensitive to lighting variations. The multi-radar integrated version […]
Tight Coupling Between Radar and INS/GNSS with AUTO Software for Accurate and Reliable Positioning for Autonomous Vehicles
A realized autonomous vehicle requires a ubiquitous, accurate, precise, and reliable localization system. Nowadays, the market is full of sensors that can be used for Positioning and Navigation; each with its strengths and weaknesses. Inertial Measurement Units (IMU) are usually used to build Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). INS can be accurate within short durations; however, […]
