robot_localization ekf_node fuse 2hz depth measurement

asked 2021-06-04 16:45:22 -0600

Hi, I am using robot_localization ekf to fuse 100 hz imu, 4hz twist(x,y,z velocity) and 2hz pose(only z position). The pose is only has z, which is the position measured from pressure sensor then convert to odom frame. What I am really want to do is using this z as the final result in the filtered odometry, like trust this measurement the most.

The param file is here: check. The depth is just keeping draft, the pose seems not helped in the ekf. Any suggestions? Thanks for the help.

# [ADVANCED] The process noise covariance matrix can be difficult to tune, and can vary for each application, so it is

# prediction step. The better the omnidirectional motion model matches your system, the smaller these values can be.
# However, if users find that a given variable is slow to converge, one approach is to increase the
# process_noise_covariance diagonal value for the variable in question, which will cause the filter's predicted error
# to be larger, which will cause the filter to trust the incoming measurement more during correction. The values are
# ordered as x, y, z, roll, pitch, yaw, vx, vy, vz, vroll, vpitch, vyaw, ax, ay, az. Defaults to the matrix below if

Is your process noise of z suppose to be this high? (1)

What you can do is decrease the covariance of the pose (with z) and increase the covariance in the other topics like imu. This way the system will know to trust the z input more than the other.

actually, process noise of z to 1 is good. check the gps example. They set gps measurement related process noise to 1. Also, large process noise will cause the filter to trust the incoming measurement more during correction.

And my result is good so far.
