Positioning and navigation (POS/NAV) systems are essential for future land vehicles. These systems have become standard in many of the new automobile models. The design of POS/NAV systems has evolved to include functionalities that make them more than just a vehicle location and map displaying system. Future land vehicle POS/NAV technology will integrate several sensors and systems to increase driving efficiency and enhance driver experience and safety. The core of these systems that provide drivers with route guidance information is the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS). GNSS positioning accuracy in dense urban canyon environments significantly deteriorates due to multipath and signal blockage. For this reason, the inertial navigation system (INS) is usually integrated with GNSS to guarantee a trustworthy navigation solution during such periods of GNSS signal outages. A low-cost navigation solution for land vehicles has been established by integrating the GNSS positioning solution with the measurements from the vehicle strapdown inertial sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes). The main shortcoming of utilizing inertial sensors is the gradual error accumulation, where the gyroscope drift errors increase progressively, leading to an impractical position estimate, particularly without GNSS updates. Thus, navigation in any GNSS-denied environment necessitates aiding INS with other exteroceptive sensors such as cameras through visual odometry (VO) to ensure efficient and reliable positioning updates. The aim of this research is to develop an integrated multi-sensor POS/NAV system for land vehicles capable of offering seamless positioning at metre level accuracy. The core development will be founded on a VO-based multi-sensor fusion system to surmount the inaccuracy of GNSS in urban areas and motion sensors' drift. Moreover, to improve the overall system accuracy of the VO-based navigation solution, we propose an integration scheme that enhances the positioning accuracy during GNSS outages by nonlinear ...
