The recently introduced matrix group SE2(3) provides a 5x5 matrix representation for the orientation, velocity and position of an object in the 3-D space, a triplet we call extended pose. In this paper we build on this group to develop a theory to associate uncertainty with extended poses represented by 5x5 matrices. Our approach is particularly suited to describe how uncertainty propagates when the extended pose represents the state of an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). In particular it allows revisiting the theory of IMU preintegration on manifold and reaching a further theoretic level in this field. Exact preintegration formulas that account for rotating Earth, that is, centrifugal force and Coriolis force, are derived as a byproduct, and the factors are shown to be more accurate. The approach is validated through extensive simulations and applied to sensor-fusion where a loosely-coupled fixed-lag smoother fuses IMU and LiDAR on one hour long experiments using our experimental car. It shows how handling rotating Earth may be beneficial for long-term navigation within incremental smoothing algorithms.

Goal: This paper presents an algorithm for estimating pelvis, thigh, shank, and foot kinematics during walking using only two or three wearable inertial sensors. Methods: The algorithm makes novel use of a Lie-group-based extended Kalman filter. The algorithm iterates through the prediction (kinematic equation), measurement (pelvis position pseudo-measurements, zero-velocity update, and flat-floor assumption), and constraint update (hinged knee and ankle joints, constant leg lengths). Results: The inertial motion capture algorithm was extensively evaluated on two datasets showing its performance against two standard benchmark approaches in optical motion capture (i.e., plug-in gait (commonly used in gait analysis) and a kinematic fit (commonly used in animation, robotics, and musculoskeleton simulation)), giving insight into the similarity and differences between the said approaches used in different application areas. The overall mean body segment position (relative to mid-pelvis origin) and orientation error magnitude of our algorithm ($n=14$ participants) for free walking was $5.93 pm 1.33$ cm and $13.43 pm 1.89^circ$ when using three IMUs placed on the feet and pelvis, and $6.35 pm 1.20$ cm and $12.71 pm 1.60^circ$ when using only two IMUs placed on the feet. Conclusion: The algorithm was able to track the joint angles in the sagittal plane for straight walking well, but requires improvement for unscripted movements (e.g., turning around, side steps), especially for dynamic movements or when considering clinical applications. Significance: This work has brought us closer to comprehensive remote gait monitoring using IMUs on the shoes. The low computational cost also suggests that it can be used in real-time with gait assistive devices.
This paper presents an algorithm that makes novel use of a Lie group representation of position and orientation alongside a constrained extended Kalman filter (CEKF) to accurately estimate pelvis, thigh, and shank kinematics during walking using only three wearable inertial sensors. The algorithm iterates through the prediction update (kinematic equation), measurement update (pelvis height, zero velocity update, flat-floor assumption, and covariance limiter), and constraint update (formulation of hinged knee joints and ball-and-socket hip joints). The paper also describes a novel Lie group formulation of the assumptions implemented in the said measurement and constraint updates. Evaluation of the algorithm on nine healthy subjects who walked freely within a $4 times 4$ m$^2$ room shows that the knee and hip joint angle root-mean-square errors (RMSEs) in the sagittal plane for free walking were $10.5 pm 2.8^circ$ and $9.7 pm 3.3^circ$, respectively, while the correlation coefficients (CCs) were $0.89 pm 0.06$ and $0.78 pm 0.09$, respectively. The evaluation demonstrates a promising application of Lie group representation to inertial motion capture under reduced-sensor-count configuration, improving the estimates (i.e., joint angle RMSEs and CCs) for dynamic motion, and enabling better convergence for our non-linear biomechanical constraints. To further improve performance, additional information relating the pelvis and ankle kinematics is needed.

In this paper, we present a canonical association of quantum vertex algebras and their $phi$-coordinated modules to Lie algebra $gl_{infty}$ and its 1-dimensional central extension. To this end we construct and make use of another closely related infinite-dimensional Lie algebra.

Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) rely on onboard attitude and position sensors for autonomous flight. Due to their size, weight, and power (SWaP) constraints, most modern MAVs use miniaturized inertial measurement units (IMUs) to provide attitude feedbac k, which is critical for flight stabilization and control. However, recent adversarial attack studies have demonstrated that many commonly used IMUs are vulnerable to attacks exploiting their physical characteristics. Conventional redundancy-based approaches are not effective against such attacks because redundant IMUs have the same or similar physical vulnerabilities. In this paper, we present a novel fault-tolerant solution for IMU compromised scenarios, using separate position and heading information to restore the failed attitude states. Rather than adding more IMU alternatives for recovery, the proposed method is intended to minimize any modifications to the existing system and control program. Thus, it is particularly useful for vehicles that have tight SWaP constraints while requiring simultaneous high performance and safety demands. To execute the recovery logic properly, a robust estimator was designed for fine-grained detection and isolation of the faulty sensors. The effectiveness of the proposed approach was validated on a quadcopter MAV through both simulation and experimental flight tests.

This paper proposes a learning method for denoising gyroscopes of Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) using ground truth data, and estimating in real time the orientation (attitude) of a robot in dead reckoning. The obtained algorithm outperforms the s tate-of-the-art on the (unseen) test sequences. The obtained performances are achieved thanks to a well-chosen model, a proper loss function for orientation increments, and through the identification of key points when training with high-frequency inertial data. Our approach builds upon a neural network based on dilated convolutions, without requiring any recurrent neural network. We demonstrate how efficient our strategy is for 3D attitude estimation on the EuRoC and TUM-VI datasets. Interestingly, we observe our dead reckoning algorithm manages to beat top-ranked visual-inertial odometry systems in terms of attitude estimation although it does not use vision sensors. We believe this paper offers new perspectives for visual-inertial localization and constitutes a step toward more efficient learning methods involving IMUs. Our open-source implementation is available at https://github.com/mbrossar/denoise-imu-gyro.
