public class LMedSRobustKnownBiasAndPositionAccelerometerCalibrator extends RobustKnownBiasAndPositionAccelerometerCalibrator
Robustly estimates accelerometer cross couplings and scaling factors using a LMedS algorithm to discard outliers.

To use this calibrator at least 10 measurements taken at a single known position must be taken at 10 different unknown orientations and zero velocity when common z-axis is assumed, otherwise at least 13 measurements are required.

Measured specific force is assumed to follow the model shown below: 

     fmeas = ba + (I + Ma) * ftrue + w
Where: - fmeas is the measured specific force. This is a 3x1 vector. - ba is accelerometer bias. Ideally, on a perfect accelerometer, this should be a 3x1 zero vector. - I is the 3x3 identity matrix. - Ma is the 3x3 matrix containing cross-couplings and scaling factors. Ideally, on a perfect accelerometer, this should be a 3x3 zero matrix. - ftrue is ground-truth specific force. - w is measurement noise.

    • DEFAULT_STOP_THRESHOLD

      public static final double DEFAULT_STOP_THRESHOLD
      Default value to be used for stop threshold. Stop threshold can be used to avoid keeping the algorithm unnecessarily iterating in case that best estimated threshold using median of residuals is not small enough. Once a solution is found that generates a threshold below this value, the algorithm will stop. The stop threshold can be used to prevent the LMedS algorithm iterating too many times in cases where samples have a very similar accuracy. For instance, in cases where proportion of outliers is very small (close to 0%), and samples are very accurate (i.e. 1e-6), the algorithm would iterate for a long time trying to find the best solution when indeed there is no need to do that if a reasonable threshold has already been reached. Because of this behaviour the stop threshold can be set to a value much lower than the one typically used in RANSAC, and yet the algorithm could still produce even smaller thresholds in estimated results.

    • MIN_STOP_THRESHOLD

      public static final double MIN_STOP_THRESHOLD
      Minimum allowed stop threshold value.

    • getStopThreshold

      public double getStopThreshold()
      Returns threshold to be used to keep the algorithm iterating in case that best estimated threshold using median of residuals is not small enough. Once a solution is found that generates a threshold below this value, the algorithm will stop. The stop threshold can be used to prevent the LMedS algorithm to iterate too many times in cases where samples have a very similar accuracy. For instance, in cases where proportion of outliers is very small (close to 0%), and samples are very accurate (i.e. 1e-6), the algorithm would iterate for a long time trying to find the best solution when indeed there is no need to do that if a reasonable threshold has already been reached. Because of this behaviour the stop threshold can be set to a value much lower than the one typically used in RANSAC, and yet the algorithm could still produce even smaller thresholds in estimated results.
      Returns:
      stop threshold to stop the algorithm prematurely when a certain accuracy has been reached.

    • setStopThreshold

      public void setStopThreshold(double stopThreshold) throws com.irurueta.navigation.LockedException
      Sets threshold to be used to keep the algorithm iterating in case that best estimated threshold using median of residuals is not small enough. Once a solution is found that generates a threshold below this value, the algorithm will stop. The stop threshold can be used to prevent the LMedS algorithm to iterate too many times in cases where samples have a very similar accuracy. For instance, in cases where proportion of outliers is very small (close to 0%), and samples are very accurate (i.e. 1e-6), the algorithm would iterate for a long time trying to find the best solution when indeed there is no need to do that if a reasonable threshold has already been reached. Because of this behaviour the stop threshold can be set to a value much lower than the one typically used in RANSAC, and yet the algorithm could still produce even smaller thresholds in estimated results.
      Parameters:
      stopThreshold - stop threshold to stop the algorithm prematurely when a certain accuracy has been reached.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if provided value is zero or negative.
      com.irurueta.navigation.LockedException - if calibrator is currently running.
