Systems and methods for a tightly coupled end-to-end multi-sensor fusion with integrated compensation are described herein. For example, a system includes an inertial measurement unit that produces inertial measurements. Additionally, the system includes additional sensors that produce additional measurements. Further, the system includes one or more memory units. Moreover, the system includes one or more processors configured to receive the inertial measurements and the additional measurements. Additionally, the one or more processors are configured to compensate the inertial measurements with a compensation model stored on the one or more memory units. Also, the one or more processors are configured to fuse the inertial measurements with the additional measurements using a differential filter that applies filter coefficients stored on the one or more memory units. Further, the compensation model and the filter coefficients are stored on the one or more memory units as produced by execution of a machine learning algorithm.

Tightly coupled end-to-end multi-sensor fusion with integrated compensation

Systems and methods for multiple inertial measurement unit sensor fusion using machine learning are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a system includes inertial sensors that produce inertial measurements, a memory unit that stores a fusion model produced by at least one machine learning algorithm, and a processor that receives inertial measurements, where the processor applies the fusion model to the inertial measurements. The fusion model directs the processor to extract features from the inertial measurements, and to select inertial measurements based on a sensor in the plurality of inertial sensors that produced the inertial measurements. Also, the fusion model directs the processor to apply weights to the selected inertial measurements based on the extracted features, to apply compensation coefficients to the selected inertial measurements, and to fuse the selected inertial measurements into an inertial navigation solution.
