On the Identifiability of Aided Inertial Navigation Under Measurement Delays: A Geometric Approach

arXiv:2606.29123v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In aided inertial navigation, measurements from different sensors are often subject to unknown relative time delays. Consider a single aiding sensor whose measurements have an unknown but constant delay relative to the inertial-measurement data stream. We study the identifiability of the delay and the initial navigation state that parameterizes the trajectory. Identifiability depends on both the temporal structure of the aiding measurements and th

Overview

arXiv:2606.29123v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In aided inertial navigation, measurements from different sensors are often subject to unknown relative time delays. Consider a single aiding sensor whose measurements have an unknown but constant delay relative to the inertial-measurement data stream. We study the identifiability of the delay and the initial navigation state that parameterizes the trajectory. Identifiability depends on both the temporal structure of the aiding measurements and the form of the trajectory itself. Our geometric analysis shows that, for a larger class of uninformative (i.e., degenerate) trajectories than has previously been reported, the delayed measurement model admits a continuous symmetry that prevents unique delay-and-state recovery.
