This paper proposes an hybrid online calibration method for a laser scanner mounted on a mobile platform also equipped with an imaging system. The method relies on finding the calibration parameters that best align the acquired points cloud to the images. The quality of this intermodal alignment is measured by Mutual information between image luminance and points reflectance. The main advantage and motivation is ensuring pixel accurate alignment of images and point clouds acquired simultaneously, but it is also much more flexible than traditional laser calibration methods.

At present, most sensor calibration methods are off-line calibration, which not only makes them time-consuming and laborious, but also causes considerable economic losses. Therefore, in this study, an online calibration method of current sensors is proposed to address the abovementioned issues. The principle and framework of online calibration are introduced. One of the calibration indexes is angular difference. In order to accurately verify it, data acquisition must be precisely synchronized. Therefore, a precise synchronous acquisition system based on GPS timing is proposed. The influence of ionosphere on the accuracy of GPS signal is analyzed and a new method for measuring the inherent delay of GPS receiver is proposed. The synchronous acquisition performance of the system is verified by inter-channel synchronization experiment, and the results show that the synchronization of the system is accurate. Lastly, we apply our online calibration method to the current sensor; the experimental results show that the angular difference and ratio difference meet the requirements of the national standard and the accuracy of the online calibration system can be achieved to 0.2 class, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed online calibration method.

This paper presents an integrated method for online calibration of realtime traffic network simulation models. The method integrates a time-dependent demand adjustment module and a link-based traffic flow propagation model calibration module. These modules use available realtime traffic observations to minimize inconsistency between the model estimation results and real-world observations. The modules are integrated into a real-time traffic network management system that was developed for the US-75 corridor in Dallas, Texas. Results illustrate that the online calibration method is effective in enhancing the model's consistency in the different operational conditions.

The online calibration method of a two-dimensional (2D) galvanometer requires both high precision and better real-time performance to meet the needs of moving target position measurement, which presents some challenges for traditional calibration methods. In this paper, a new online calibration method is proposed using the wavelet kernel extreme learning machine (KELM). Firstly, a system structure is created and its experiment setup is established. The online calibration method is then analyzed based on a wavelet KELM algorithm. Finally, the acquisition methods of the training data are set, two groups of testing data sets are presented, and the verification method is described. The calibration effects of the existing methods and wavelet KELM methods are compared in terms of both accuracy and speed. The results show that, for the two testing data sets, the root mean square errors (RMSE) of the Mexican Hat wavelet KELM are reduced by 16.4% and 38.6%, respectively, which are smaller than that of the original ELM, and the standard deviations (Sd) are reduced by 19.2% and 36.6%, respectively, indicating the proposed method has better generalization and noise suppression performance for the nonlinear samples of the 2D galvanometer. Although the online operation time of KELM is longer than ELM, due to the complexity of the wavelet kernel, it still has better real-time performance.

Online calibration technique has been widely employed to calibrate new items due to its advantages. Method A is the simplest online calibration method and has attracted many attentions from researchers recently. However, a key assumption of Method A is that it treats person-parameter estimates [Formula: see text] (obtained by maximum likelihood estimation [MLE]) as their true values [Formula: see text], thus the deviation of the estimated [Formula: see text] from their true values might yield inaccurate item calibration when the deviation is nonignorable. To improve the performance of Method A, a new method, MLE-LBCI-Method A, is proposed. This new method combines a modified Lord’s bias-correction method (named as maximum likelihood estimation-Lord’s bias-correction with iteration [MLE-LBCI]) with the original Method A in an effort to correct the deviation of [Formula: see text] which may adversely affect the item calibration precision. Two simulation studies were carried out to explore the performance of both MLE-LBCI and MLE-LBCI-Method A under several scenarios. Simulation results showed that MLE-LBCI could make a significant improvement over the ML ability estimates, and MLE-LBCI-Method A did outperform Method A in almost all experimental conditions.

With the problem of attitude measurement accuracy is susceptible to various errors of geomagnetic survey, this paper establishes geomagnetic measurement error ellipsoid model by analysis of on the environment and own errors, uses the maximum likelihood algorithm for solving the static error correction coefficient. The experimental results show that, the maximum of attitude angle errors is less than 5° near blind direction, online combination correction can ensure the accuracy of attitude detection system under different shooting conditions.
