Neural networks outperform conventional filters in inertial sensor-based attitude estimation.
Human inertial thinking schemes can be formed through learning, which are then applied to quickly solve similar problems later. However, when problems are significantly different, inertial thinking generally presents the solutions that are definitely imperfect. In such cases, people will apply creative thinking, such a…

RIO uses rotation-equivariance to train robust inertial odometry models.
We propose inertial versions of block coordinate descent methods for solving non-convex non-smooth composite optimization problems. Our methods possess three main advantages compared to current state-of-the-art accelerated first-order methods: (1) they allow using two different extrapolation points to evaluate the grad…
Matrix Factorization is a popular non-convex optimization problem, for which alternating minimization schemes are mostly used. They usually suffer from the major drawback that the solution is biased towards one of the optimization variables. A remedy is non-alternating schemes. However, due to a lack of Lipschitz conti…
Foot-mounted inertial positioning (FMIP) can face problems of inertial drifts and unknown initial states in real applications, which renders the estimated trajectories inaccurate and not obtained in a well defined coordinate system for matching trajectories of different users. In this paper, an approach adopting receiv…
This paper proposes IMU preintegrated features for efficient deep inertial odometry.
We describe a method to infer dense depth from camera motion and sparse depth as estimated using a visual-inertial odometry system. Unlike other scenarios using point clouds from lidar or structured light sensors, we have few hundreds to few thousand points, insufficient to inform the topology of the scene. Our method …
INNA is a new second-order optimization method for deep learning.
We study the Whitehead torsions of inertial h-cobordisms, and identify various types representing a nested sequence of subsets of the Whitehead group. A number of examples are given to show that these subsets are all different in general.

Improved UAV navigation and landing using deep learning.
Inertial information processing plays a pivotal role in ego-motion awareness for mobile agents, as inertial measurements are entirely egocentric and not environment dependent. However, they are affected greatly by changes in sensor placement/orientation or motion dynamics, and it is infeasible to collect labelled data …

Compared to other biometrics, gait is difficult to conceal and has the advantage of being unobtrusive. Inertial sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, are often used to capture gait dynamics. These inertial sensors are commonly integrated into smartphones and are widely used by the average person, which makes …
Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments are designed using computer simulations that are approximations of reality, and therefore must be calibrated to accurately predict experimental observations.

We prove that the essential smoothness of the gravitational metric at shock waves in GR, a PDE regularity issue for weak solutions of the Einstein equations, is determined by a geometrical condition which we introduce and name the {\it Riemann-flat condition}. The Riemann-flat condition determines whether or not the es…

The Schroedinger operator on the Newtonian space-time is defined in a way which is independent on the class of inertial observers. In this picture the Schroedinger operator acts not on functions on the space-time but on sections of certain one-dimensional complex vector bundle over space-time. This bundle, constructed …

In this paper we propose a novel accurate method for dead-reckoning of wheeled vehicles based only on an Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). In the context of intelligent vehicles, robust and accurate dead-reckoning based on the IMU may prove useful to correlate feeds from imaging sensors, to safely navigate through obstr…

The method of block coordinate gradient descent (BCD) has been a powerful method for large-scale optimization. This paper considers the BCD method that successively updates a series of blocks selected according to a Markov chain. This kind of block selection is neither i.i.d. random nor cyclic. On the other hand, it is…
