This leads to an increasing amount of observation data that must be processed reliably and accurately very quickly. For this purpose, recursive approaches are particularly suitable in terms of their efficiency when powerful CPUs and GPUs are uneconomical, too large, or too heavy for certain applications. If explicit functional relationships between the available observations and the requested parameters are used to process and adjust the observation data, complementary approaches exist. The situation is different for implicit relationships, which could not be considered recursively for a long time but only in the context of batch adjustments. In this contribution, a recursive Gauss-Helmert model is presented that can handle explicit and implicit equations and thus allows high flexibility. This recursive estimator is based on a Kalman filter for implicit measurement equations, which has already been used for georeferencing kinematic multi-sensor systems (MSS) in urban environments. Furthermore, different methods for introducing additional information using constraints and the resulting added value are shown. Practical application of the methodology is given by an example for the calibration of a laser scanner for a MSS.

However, some significant challenges still need to be solved in this context. Particularly relevant is the constant guarantee and assurance of the integrity of such autonomous systems. In order to ensure safe manoeuvring in the direct environment of humans, an accurate, precise, reliable and continuous determination of the vehicle’s position and orientation is mandatory. In geodesy, this process is also referred to as georeferencing with respect to a superordinate earth-fixed coordinate system. Especially for complex inner-city areas, there are no fully reliable methods available so far. The otherwise suitable and therefore common Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) observations can fail in urban canyons. However, this fact does not only apply exclusively to autonomous vehicles but can generally also be transferred to any kinematic Multi-Sensor System (MSS) operating within challenging environments. Especially in geodesy, there are many MSSs, which require accurate and reliable georeferencing regardless of the environment. This is indispensable for derived subsequent products, such as highly accurate three-dimensional point clouds for 3D city models or Building Information Modelling (BIM) applications. The demand for new georeferencing methods under aspects of integrity also involves the applicability of big data. Modern sensors for capturing the environment, e.g. laser scanners or cameras, are becoming increasingly cheaper and also offer higher information density and accuracy. For many kinematic MSSs, this change leads to a steady increase in the amount of acquired observation data. Many of the currently methods used are not suitable for processing such amounts of data, and instead, they only use a random subset. Besides, big data also influences potential requirements with regard to possible real-time applications. If there is no excessive computing power available to take into account the vast amounts of observation data, recursive methods are usually recommended. In this case, an iterative estimation of the requested quantities is performed, whereby the comprehensive total data set is divided into several individual epochs. If the most recent observations are successively available for each epoch, a filtering algorithm can be applied. Thus, an efficient estimation is carried out and, with respect to a comprehensive overall adjustment, generally larger observation sets can be considered. However, such filtering algorithms exist so far almost exclusively for explicit relations between the available observations and the requested estimation quantities. If this mathematical relationship is implicit, which is certainly the case for several practical issues, only a few methods exist or, in the case of recursive parameter estimation, none at all. This circumstance is accompanied by the fact that the combination of implicit relationships with constraints regarding the parameters to be estimated has not yet been investigated at all. In this thesis, a versatile filter algorithm is presented, which is valid for explicit and for implicit mathematical relations as well. For the first time, methods for the consideration of constraints are given, especially for implicit relations. The developed methodology will be comprehensively validated and evaluated by simulations and real-world application examples of practical relevance. The usage of real data is directly related to kinematic MSSs and the related tasks of calibration and georeferencing. The latter especially with regard to complex innercity environments. In such challenging environments, the requirements for georeferencing under integrity aspects are of special importance. Therefore, the simultaneous use of independent and complementary information sources is applied in this thesis. This enables a reliable georeferencing solution to be achieved and a prompt notification to be issued in case of integrity violations.
