Location Estimation using Delayed Measurements
When combining data from various sensors it is vital to acknowledge possible
measurement delays. Furthermore, the sensor fusion algorithm, often a Kalman
filter, should be modified in order to handle the delay. This paper examines
different possibilities for handling delays and applies a new technique to a
sensor fusion system for estimating the location of an Autonomous Guided
Vehicle. The system fuses encoder and vision measurements in an extended
Kalman filter. Results from experiments in a real environment are reported.
