Consider the two characteristics: (1) Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) is a popular algorithm for autonomous underwater vehicle, but visual SLAM is significantly influenced by weak illumination. (2)Geomagnetism-aided navigation and gravity-aided navigation are equally important methods in the field of vehicle navigation, but both are affected heavily by time-varying noises and terrain fluctuations. However, magnetic gradient vector can avoid the influence of time-varying noises, and is less affected by terrain fluctuations. To this end, we propose an adaptive SLAM-based magnetic gradient aided navigation with the following advantages: (1) Adaptive SLAM is an efficient way to deal with uncertainty of the measurement model. (2) Magnetic gradient inversion equation is a good alternative to be used as measurement equation in visual SLAM-denied environment. Experimental results show that our proposed method is an effective solution, combining magnetic gradient information with SLAM.
