Equivariant Filter Design for Acoustic and Depth Aided Inertial Navigation Systems

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) navigating without GPS typically fuse inertial measurements with acoustic Doppler Velocity Log (DVL) velocities and pressure-derived depth. Posing the navigation state on a Lie group improves accuracy and consistency. However, state-of-the-art filters based on the Invariant Extende...
