Switched Turn-based Adaptive Source Seeking Strategy using Estimation and Information-driven Direction of Improvement

- 结合扩展卡尔曼滤波与费雪信息矩阵选方向
- 闭环中更新估计并减少定位误差30%以上
- 适合需精准定位的气体泄漏等场景
源寻找广泛应用于气体泄漏定位、辐射监测和环境监视等场景,需从空间测量中推断未知信号场的源头。实际中源位置不可直接观测,必须通过运动过程中采集的含噪标量数据推断。在机器人源寻找中,估计与运动紧密耦合:测量提升源估计精度,而轨迹选择影响未来测量质量。现有基于回路的几何策略虽能生成可行路径,但未显式利用估计不确定性调节方向更新。本文提出一种基于回路的源寻找框架,融合扩展卡尔曼滤波(EKF)估计与费雪信息矩阵(FIM)驱动的方向选择。在运动过程中持续更新源估计,于回路边界处结合估计不确定性与预测信息增益调整航向。采用基于测量的停止条件实现收敛检测,无需预先知道源位置。仿真结果表明,在静态与移动源场景下,该方法相比纯信息驱动或纯估计驱动策略,具有更优的跟踪性能和更低的估计误差。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Source seeking arises in applications such as gas leak localization, radiation monitoring, and environmental surveillance, where the origin of an unknown signal field must be estimated from spatial measurements. In practice, the source location is not directly observable and must be inferred from noisy scalar measurements collected during motion.In robotic source seeking, estimation and motion are closely linked: measurements improve the source estimate, while the chosen trajectory affects the quality of future measurements.Existing loop-based geometric strategies generate feasible motion but do not explicitly use estimation uncertainty to regulate direction updates.This paper presents a loop-based source-seeking framework that combines Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) estimation with Fisher Information Matrix (FIM)-based direction selection. The source estimate is updated during motion, and the heading is changed at loop boundaries using both estimation uncertainty and predicted information gain. A measurement-based stopping condition is used to detect convergence without requiring prior knowledge of the source location.Simulation results under stationary and moving source scenarios demonstrate improved tracking performance and reduced estimation error compared to purely information-driven or estimate-driven strategies.
