- Abstract
Wheel odometry is a simple and low-cost localization technique that can be used for localization in GNSS-deprived environments; however, its measurement accuracy is affected by many factors, such as wheel slip, wear, and tire pressure changes, resulting in unpredictable and variable errors, which in turn affect positioning performance. To improve the localization performance of wheel odometry, this study developed a wheel odometry error prediction model based on a transformer neural network to learn the measurement uncertainty of wheel odometry and accurately predict the odometry error. Driving condition characteristics including features describing road types, road conditions, and vehicle driving operations were considered, and models both with and without driving condition characteristics were compared and analyzed. Tests were performed on a public dataset and an experimental vehicle. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model can predict the odometry error with higher accuracy, stability, and reliability than the LSTM and WhONet models under multiple challenging and longer GNSS outage driving conditions. At the same time, the transformer model's overall performance can be improved in longer GNSS outage driving conditions by considering the driving condition characteristics. Tests on the experimental vehicle demonstrate the model's generalization capability and the improved positioning performance of dead reckoning when using the proposed model. This study explored the possibility of applying a transformer model to wheel odometry and provides a new solution for using deep learning in localization.
