Extended Kalman Filter-based localization algorithm by edge computing in Wireless Sensor Networks

摘要

The Extended Kalman Filter(EKF)has received abundant attention with the growing demands for robotic localization.The EKF algorithm is more realistic in non-linear systems,which has an autonomous white noise in both the system and the estimation model.Also,in the field of engineering,most systems are non-linear.Therefore,the EKF attracts more attention than the Kalman Filter(KF).In this paper,we propose an EKF-based localization algorithm by edge computing,and a mobile robot is used to update its location concerning the landmark.This localization algorithm aims to achieve a high level of accuracy and wider coverage.The proposed algorithm is helpful for the research related to the use of EKF localization algorithms.Simulation results demonstrate that,under the situations presented in the paper,the proposed localization algorithm is more accurate compared with the current state-of-the-art localization algorithms.
