Abstract: In the process of data fusion in multi-source integrated navigation using factor graph, the time-varying characteristics of the subsystem's observed noise have a great influence on the estimation accuracy of navigation state. In order to solve the problem, a Gaussian model-based method to estimate the mean vector and covariance matrix of sub-system observation is proposed. In the proposed method, the observed-measurement residuals for each iterative cycle in the process of factor graph optimization are utilized to update the maximum posteriori estimated values of mean vectors and covariance matrices. A more accurate estimated value of navigation state can be obtained by estimating the sub-system noise state. The influence of the new algorithm on the convergence of optimization process was also deduced. Both the simulated and experimental results show that, compared with the existing algorithms as factor graph, maximum likelihood estimation based factor graph and maximum posteriori based factor graph, the proposed factor graph method based on iterative maximum posteriori estimation can effectively improve the accuracy of navigation estimation when the subsystem observing state varies.
