Underwater vehicle localization using range measurements
… Using the weak observability theorem for nonlinear systems, we demonstrate that this cooperative localization problem is best attacked using nonlinear least squares (NLS) optimization. We investigate the convergence of NLS applied to the cooperative ASV/AUV localization problem. Though we …

Human-autonomy teaming for improved diver navigation
… Units (REMUS) 100 AUV. During processing, a nonlinear least-squares (NLS) method, called incremental smoothing and mapping 2 (iSAM2), utilizes odometry and range measurements to provide real-time diver position estimates given unknown ocean currents. Field experiments demonstrate an average …

Angles-only navigation technique for maneuver-free spacecraft proximity operations
… environment, the orbital dynamics are inherently nonlinear and natural orbit perturbations have the effect of continuous micro-maneuvers. These advantageous conditions present an opportunity to overcome the ambiguity problem and enable spacecraft to navigate passively with a lightweight, low-power …

Parameter estimation for single-phase induction motor from transient measurements
… are further tuned based on a non-linear least squares (NLS) formulation that minimizes the mismatch between modeled and measured outputs during the start-up transients. The NLS problem is solved using the workhorse algorithm for this application, namely the Levenberg-Marquardt (L-M) …
