Abstract
Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) plays an important role in inertial aided navigation on robots. However, raw IMU data could be noisy, especially for low-cost IMUs, and thus requires efficient pre-processing or denoising before applying further navigation algorithms. Conventional IMU denoising approaches are mostly hand-crafted and may face concerns such as sensor modelling errors and generalization issues. Several recent works leverage deep neural networks (DNNs) to tackle this problem and achieve promising results. However, currently reported deep learning methods are based on supervised learning, requiring sufficient and accurate annotations. While in real-world applications, such annotations can be expensive or unavailable, making these methods not practical. To address the above research gap, we propose incorporating self-supervised learning and future-aware inference for IMU denoising. The end-to-end navigation evaluation results on EuRoC and TUM-VI datasets are promising.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
