    Start date: 31/10/2024
    Duration: 15 Months
    Factor graph optimization is gaining attention from the community as is outperforming traditional positioning algorithms. Factor graph optimization may be used to replace the traditional Weighted Least Square (WLS) or Kalman Filter (KF)-based solutions, both in stand-alone and hybrid positioning solutions in combination with sensors. Thus, its application may be of interest for the derivation of…
