UNIVERSITY OF CALGARY Development of Map Aided GPS Algorithms for Vehicle Navigation in Urban Canyons
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A major portion of the Location-Based Services (LBS) market deals with applications involving in-car navigation systems. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the most popular choice for positioning in such applications. Many LBS applications involve positioning in urban areas having high rise buildings. Although GPS has good positioning accuracy in open sky conditions, it suffers from line-of-sight issues in urban canyons. This thesis formulates some new methods for aiding GPS using maps for vehicle navigation in urban canyons. GPS satellite availability in urban canyons can be improved by using a High Sensitivity GPS (HS GPS) receiver which can track weak signals. However, this introduces large errors and noise in measurements. Thus, reliability monitoring becomes necessary with such receivers in signal degraded environments. Maps and Digital Elevation Models (DEM) provide effective constraints to compute an outlier-free solution. In this research, a robust fuzzy logic-based approach is developed for road segment identification. This identified road segment is then used in a GPS computation model and is referred to as Map Aided GPS (MAGPS). The performances of

How this classification was reachedexpand
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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
