A Post-Processing Multipath/NLoS Bias Estimation Method Based on DBSCAN.

Positioning based on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSSs) in urban environments always suffers from multipath and Non-Line-of-Sight (NLoS) effects. In such conditions, the GNSS pseudorange measurements can be affected by biases disrupting the GNSS-based applications. Many efforts have been devoted to detecting and mitigating the effects of multipath/NLoS, but the identification and classification of such events are still challenging.

Improved weighting in particle filters applied to precise state estimation in GNSS.

In the last decades, the increasing complexity of the fusion of proprioceptive and exteroceptive sensors with Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has motivated the exploration of Artificial Intelligence related strategies for the implementation of the navigation filters. In order to meet the strict requirements of accuracy and precision for Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) and Robotics, Bayesian inference algorithms are at the basis of current Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT). Some scientific and technical contributions resort to Sequential Importance Resampling (SIR) Particle Filters (PF) to overcome the theoretical weaknesses of the more popular and efficient Kalman Filters (KFs) when the application relies on non-linear measurements models and non-Gaussian measurements errors.
