Using road constraints to progress in real-time NLOS detection
Résumé
Using a 3D urban model to forecast satellites visibility in urban contexts in order to monitor GPS localization is the main topic of the present article. A virtual image processing is at the core of this method. A preliminary proof of concept has been presented in IEEE ITST 2011, where the theoretically visible satellites were computed with respect to the true position of the vehicle computed off-line from the data of a much more sophisticated equipment. This article addresses now the closed-loop real-time processing of the method, i.e. using the position estimated by the navigation process itself.
