Extending Bayesian RFS SLAM to multi-vehicle SLAM

In this paper we present a novel solution to the Multi-Vehicle SLAM (MVSLAM) problem by extending the random finite set (RFS) based SLAM filter framework using two recently developed multi-sensor information fusion approaches. Our solution is based on the modelling of the measurements and the landma...

Description
Summary:In this paper we present a novel solution to the Multi-Vehicle SLAM (MVSLAM) problem by extending the random finite set (RFS) based SLAM filter framework using two recently developed multi-sensor information fusion approaches. Our solution is based on the modelling of the measurements and the landmark map as RFSs and factorizing the MVSLAM posterior into a product of the joint vehicle trajectories posterior and the landmark map posterior conditioned the vehicle trajectories. The joint vehicle trajectories posterior is propagated using a particle filter while the landmark map posterior conditioned on the vehicle trajectories is propagated using a Gaussian Mixture (GM) implementation of the probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter. © 2012 IEEE.
