Adaptive compensation of measurement delays in multi-sensor fusion for inertial motion tracking using moving horizon estimation

Robust and accurate pose estimation of moving systems is a challenging task that is often tackled by combining information from different sensor subsystems in a multi-sensor fusion setup. To obtain robust and accurate estimates, it is crucial to respect the exact time of each measurement. Data fusion is additionally challenged when the...
