Self-Localization and Odometry
Abstract Introduction Self-localization is one of the main challenges in the application of autonomous systems. These strategies can be divided into two major categories, GPS-based and Odometry. Odometry or position tracking is a form of navigation to detect the position and orientation of a robot by measuring the distance and angle of the robot’s movement using sensor data (e.g., inertial, visual, and radar). Position tracking is a fundamental task in autonomous navigation and it is a key component in many other applications, such as robotics, autonomous vehicles, and augmented reality....
