Abstract

Aiming at the problem of GNSS signal failure of unmanned ground vehicles in urban environments, a robust integrated navigation system based on IMU/GNSS/vision/geomagnetic combination is designed, which can generate full-dimension navigation information under the framework of factor graph (FG). Different from the traditional FG model which takes IMU measurement as the core, this paper designs a complete navigation information fusion algorithm and covariance matrix based on visual odometry. To improve the accuracy and reliability of navigation information, this paper introduces offline maps. Given the different dimensions measured in the process of attitude information optimization and the particularity of the rotation matrix, this paper designed an attitude update process based on visual feature points to realize the fusion of IMU, geomagnetic, and feature points. Long endurance road test in a typical urban environment shows that the horizontal positioning accuracy is 4.38m (RMSE), and course accuracy is 0.849r (RMSE).
