Collaborative simultaneous localization and mapping for autonomous vehicles by Diluka Moratuwage

“…The landmark map and the measurements are represented as RFSs; their dynamics are appropriately modeled using FISST; and the landmark map posterior conditioned on the vehicle trajectories is estimated using a Gaussian Mixture (GM) implementation of a probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter. The performance of the proposed solutions is evaluated and presented by benchmarking against a FastSLAM based CMSLAM solution using a simulation and a practical experiment.…”
