Abstract

<p>This research proposes a new method of vehicle localization using an environmental magnetic field (EMF). EMF consists of the Earth’s geomagnetic field and magnetic field induced by manmade objects. EMF has local fluctuations that can be paired with its coordinate position and is time-invariant within the practical scale, so it has the potential to be used as a localization method. In this paper, an EMF map was generated by Gaussian process regression using magnetic field data collected from our experiment vehicle. Then a simulation was done to verify the localization using the Monte Carlo localization algorithm. The proposed method was able to generate an EMF map resembling the original magnetic field measurements, and the algorithm successfully localized the vehicle. The results also showed that the magnetic markers may increase the localization accuracy.</p>
