  # AI-IMU Dead-Reckoning [IEEE paper, ArXiv paper]
  _1.10%_ translational error on the KITTI odometry sequences with __only__ an Inertial Measurement Unit.
  ## Overview

  This repository presents `ai-imu-dr`, a novel method for highly accurate dead reckoning of wheeled vehicles using *only* an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). It uniquely combines a Kalman filter with deep neural networks to dynamically adapt noise parameters, achieving 1.10% translational error on KITTI odometry sequences and competing with methods using LiDAR or stereo vision. This makes it ideal for robust localization in intelligent vehicles, especially when other sensors fail.

  ## Comparison to Alternatives
  Unlike general sensor fusion frameworks (e.g., `robot_localization`, `FilterPy`, `GTSAM`) or multi-sensor SLAM systems (e.g., `Google Cartographer`), `ai-imu-dr` focuses exclusively on achieving high-accuracy dead reckoning for wheeled vehicles using *only* an IMU. Our unique approach of using deep neural networks to dynamically adapt Kalman filter noise parameters allows us to achieve performance comparable to methods relying on LiDAR or stereo vision, without their hardware complexity or vulnerability to environmental conditions.
