CKF-Based Visual Inertial Odometry for Long-Term Trajectory Operations by Trung Nguyen, George K. I. Mann, Andrew Vardy, Raymond G. Gosine

“…Some advanced techniques such as global pose graph optimization and loop closure demand relatively high computation and processing time to execute the optimization procedure for the entire trajectory and may not be feasible to be implemented in a low-cost robotic platform. In an attempt to allow the VIO to operate for a longer duration without either using or generating a map, this paper develops iterated cubature Kalman filter for VIO application that performs multiple corrections on a single measurement to optimize the current filter state and covariance during the measurement update. …”
