Article Abstract

5G communication systems operating above 24 GHz have promising properties for user localization and environment mapping. Existing studies have either relied on simplified abstract models of the signal propagation and the measurements, or are based on direct positioning approaches, which directly map the received waveform to a position. In this study, we consider an intermediate approach, which consists of four phases-downlink data transmission, multi-dimensional channel estimation, channel parameter clustering, and simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) based on a novel likelihood function. This approach can decompose the problem into simpler steps, thus leading to lower complexity. At the same time, by considering an end-to-end processing chain, we are accounting for a wide variety of practical impairments. Simulation results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach.

Article Synopsis
  • Place recognition is crucial for helping robots navigate using pre-built point cloud maps, but existing methods can only recognize places they have visited and require matching sensors, making them slow.
  • This paper proposes a new global re-localization framework that uses a two-stage approach: an offline stage to build a template library from virtual LiDAR scans and an online stage for efficient matching through a cascade method.
  • The framework achieves high accuracy (99% success in simulations) and good speed (approximately 11 Hz) in re-localizing robots, even in unfamiliar environments and when using heterogeneous sensor data.

High-precision simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) in dynamic real-world environments plays a crucial role in autonomous robot navigation, self-driving cars, and drone control. To address this dynamic localization issue, in this paper, a dynamic odometry method is proposed based on FAST-LIVO, a fast LiDAR (light detection and ranging)-inertial-visual odometry system, integrating neural networks with laser, camera, and inertial measurement unit modalities. The method first constructs visual-inertial and LiDAR-inertial odometry subsystems.

We propose a visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) algorithm that integrates target detection and clustering techniques in dynamic scenarios to address the vulnerability of traditional SLAM algorithms to moving targets. The proposed algorithm integrates the target detection module into the front end of the SLAM and identifies dynamic objects within the visual range by improving the YOLOv5. Feature points associated with the dynamic objects are disregarded, and only those that correspond to static targets are utilized for frame-to-frame matching.

SLAM is a critical technology for enabling autonomous navigation and positioning in unmanned vehicles. Traditional visual simultaneous localization and mapping algorithms are built upon the assumption of a static scene, overlooking the impact of dynamic targets within real-world environments. Interference from dynamic targets can significantly degrade the system's localization accuracy or even lead to tracking failure.
