FAST SENSOR INITIALIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240094412 titled 'FAST SENSOR INITIALIZATION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application aims to reduce sensor initialization time for sensors used for dead reckoning (DR) positioning during a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) signal outage.
- A UE initiates a first positioning engine based on the availability of a GNSS signal.
- The first positioning engine measures the relative position of the UE without ambiguity processing.
- The UE calibrates at least one IMU sensor based on the relative position measured by the first positioning engine.
- The UE performs a positioning calculation via the IMU sensor when the GNSS signal is unavailable.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, drones, and other systems that rely on accurate positioning data.
Problems Solved
This technology addresses the issue of sensor initialization time during GNSS signal outages, ensuring continuous and accurate positioning information.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved reliability and accuracy of positioning data, especially in scenarios where GNSS signals may be unreliable or unavailable.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications include autonomous driving systems, precision agriculture, and industrial automation.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be systems that use multiple sensors for dead reckoning positioning during GNSS signal outages, but the specific method described in this patent application may be novel.
What is the impact of this technology on autonomous vehicles?
This technology could significantly enhance the reliability and accuracy of positioning data in autonomous vehicles, leading to safer and more efficient operations.
How does this innovation compare to existing dead reckoning systems?
This innovation improves sensor initialization time for dead reckoning systems during GNSS signal outages, providing a more seamless transition between different positioning modes.
Original Abstract Submitted
aspects presented herein may enable a ue to reduce sensor initialization time for one or more sensors that are to be used for dr positioning during a gnss signal outage. in one aspect, a ue initiates a first positioning engine based on an availability of a gnss signal, where the first positioning engine measures a relative position of the ue without ambiguity processing. the ue calibrates at least one imu sensor based on the relative position of the ue measured by the first positioning engine. the ue performs a positioning calculation of the ue via the at least one imu sensor in response to the gnss signal being unavailable.
