Long Description Fastslam is one of the robust incremental mapping algorithm that can deal with multimodal distribution. However it suffers from two important limitations which are the derivation of the Jacobian matrices and the linear approximations of nonlinear functions. The latter makes the filter inconsistent. Another challenge in the particle filtering slam is to reduce the number of particles while maintaining the estimation accuracy. This code provides a modified algorithm based on the scaled unscented transformation. It overcomes the limitations of the Fastslam algorithm by directly using linear relations. This approach improves the filter consistency and state estimation accuracy, in other words it requires smaller number of particles than the Fastslam to satisfy the similar performance. | |
