7 OUTLINE Introduction to Localization Robust Localization Outdoors Localization Indoors Localization

8 LOCALIZATION PROBLEM STATEMENT Given some representation of the environment, to localize, device must, through sensing, determine its pose with respect to the specified representation Pose = (location, heading) wrt external frame Global coordinate frame E.g., GPS (Earth) coordinates Local coordinate frame Ceiling or floor tiles Mission starting pose Environment features E.g., nearby walls, corners, markings y x

9 OPEN LOOP POSE ESTIMATION Estimate pose from expected results of motion No sensing Dead reckoning: Use odometry to estimate pose w.r.t. initial coordinate frame Multiple error sources; Pose error accumulates with time and motion

10 OPEN LOOP POSE ESTIMATION

11 LOCALIZATION SCENARIOS Estimating location in 2D From measured ranges (distances) From measured bearings (directions) L L P L L L q L L

12 SENSORS AND MEASUREMENTS Range to surface patch, corner Sonar, IR Bearing (absolute, relative, differential) Compass; vision (calibrated camera) Range to point RSS, TOF from RF/acoustic beacon TDoA of acoustic & RF pulse Range and (body-relative) bearing to object Radar return Laser range scanner return Vision (stereo camera rig)

13 TRIANGULATION Natural geometry for 2D localization Simplest framework combining range, bearing Used by Egyptians, Romans for engineering L L L P Range d (distance from from P to L) L q L L L Bearing q (relative to straight ahead in robot frame)

14 TRIANGULATION FROM RANGE DATA Device at unknown position P measures distances d 1, d 2 to known landmarks L 1, L 2 Given d 1, d 2, what are possible values of P? L 1 d 1 y? P L 2 d 2 Robot measures d 1, d 2 x

15 TRIANGULATION FROM RANGE DATA Device must lie on circles of radius d 1, d 2 centered at L 1, L 2 respectively L 1 d 1 L 2 y d 2 P x

16 TRIANGULATION FROM RANGE DATA Change basis: put L 1 at origin, L 2 at (a,0) y L 1 = (0,0) x = (a 2 + d d 2 2 ) / 2a y = ± (d x 2 ) d 1 L 2 = (a, 0) P (Try e.g. setting d 1 = a, d 2 = 0) d 2 x

17 TRIANGULATION FROM RANGE DATA Change basis: put L 1 at origin, L 2 at (a,0) y L 1 = (0,0) x = (a 2 + d d 2 2 ) / 2a y = ± (d x 2 ) d 1 L 2 = (a, 0) P (Try e.g. setting d 1 = a, d 2 = 0) d 2 x Are we done?

18 TRIANGULATION FROM RANGE DATA Two solutions in general, P and P How to select the correct solution? L 1? P? d 1 P d 2 L 2

19 DISAMBIGUATING SOLUTIONS A priori information (richer map) L 1 P d 1 L 2 P d 2

20 DISAMBIGUATING SOLUTIONS Continuity (i.e., spatiotemporal information) L 1 P d 1 L 2 P d 2 Position now Position 10 minutes ago

21 DISAMBIGUATING SOLUTIONS Additional landmarks (redundancy) L 1 P L 3 d 1 d 3 L 2 P d 2

22 TRIANGULATION FROM RANGE DATA Are we done yet, i.e., is pose fully determined? No: absolute heading is not determined L 1 P d 1 L 2 P d2?

23 TRIANGULATION FROM BEARING DATA Body-relative bearings to two landmarks Bearings measured relative to straight ahead Robot observes: L 1 at bearing q 1 L 2 at bearing q 2 L 2 q 2 a L 1 differential bearing a = q 2 q 1 q 1 q = 0 (radians)

24 TRIANGULATION FROM BEARING DATA Body-relative bearings to two landmarks Bearings measured relative to straight ahead Robot observes: L 1 at bearing q 1 L 2 at bearing q 2 L 2 q 2 a L 1 differential bearing a = q 2 q 1 q 1 q = 0 (radians) are two bearings enough for unique localization?

25 Triangulation from two bearings q 1 q 2 L 2 L 1 a a a a Device somewhere on black circular arc Can it be anywhere on circle? (No; ordering constraint)

26 TRIANGULATION FROM BEARING DATA Measure bearing to third landmark Yields robot position and orientation Also called robot pose (in this case, 3 DoFs) L 1 L 2 L 3

27 MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY: RAGES Ranges, bearings are typically imprecise Range case (estimated ranges ~d 1, ~d 2 ) L 1 ~d 1 ~d 2 L 2 P Locus of likely positions

28 MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY: BEARING L 1 L 2 Two-bearing case (estimated bearings ~q 1, ~q 2 ) What is locus of recovered vehicle poses? Solve in closed form? Is there an alternative?

29 MEASUREMENT UNCERTAINTY Bearing case (measurements ~q 1, ~q 2, ~q 3 ) L 1 L 2 L 3 {P, q} is this always a satisfactory Locus pose of bound? likely poses

32 LOCALIZATION WITH NOISY RANGES (-1,12) Characteristics: Robust against noise No beacons Handles mobility (-4,7) (-7,1) cm (10,0) (-5,-5) (6,-5) D. Moore, J. Leonard, D. Rus, S. Teller, The Robust Internet distributed of Things: Roadmap network to a localization Connected World with noisy range measurements, Proceedings of the 2004 ACM International Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (Sensys 2004)

33 COMPLICATIONS OF NOISE Small measurement errors due to noise lead to large localization errors Example: flip ambiguity from noise A A D C OR C D B Small error in CD leads to large position error of D B D. Moore, J. Leonard, D. Rus, S. Teller, Robust distributed network localization with noisy range measurements, Proceedings of the 2004 ACM International Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems (Sensys 2004)

34 THE ROBUST QUADRILATERAL Consider this graph: Robustness characteristics: Rigid (no continuous deformations) No discontinuous flex ambiguities (by Laman s Theorem) We probabilistically constrain it to minimize the likelihood of a flip ambiguity We call it a robust quadrilateral A graph constructed from overlapping robust quads will itself possess the robustness characteristics

35 TRILATERATION W/ ROBUST QUADS If three nodes of a quad have known position, fourth can be computed with trilateration Quads can be chained in this manner

36 COMPLETE ROBUSTNESS TEST Test for robust triangle: Let b = minimum edge length of the triangle Let θ = minimum angle of the triangle Then, in worst case: d err = b sin 2 θ If b sin 2 θ > 3σ then probability of a flip is less than 1% Test for robust quadrilateral: Quad is robust if all four sub-triangles are robust

37 ALGORITHM Starting cluster w/ distance measurements Choose two neighboring nodes for initial robust triangle (-5,-5) (0,0) (6,-5) (0,0) (0,12) x (10,0) y

38 ALGORITHM (CONT.) Cluster localization complete (-5,-5) (6,-5) (0,0) (-4,7) (10,0) (0,12)

39 Distance (cm) Localization error (cm) EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS Robot path over time Error in robot path over time Distance (cm) Time (seconds) (Ground truth derived from computer vision algorithm applied to captured video)

40 Distance (cm) SIMULATION RESULTS With robust quads Localized position versus ground truth Without robust quads Noise std. dev. σ = 5.0 cm Communication radius MSE = 16.2 cm MSE = 54.9 cm 75% of nodes localized 99% of nodes localized Distance (cm) Distance (cm)
