IMU + wheel odometry blending; where noise models helped and where they did not.
Problem
Wheel odometry drifts; the IMU is noisy on this platform. The question was how much blending buys you before complexity outweighs gains.
Approach
We tried a straightforward complementary-style blend with conservative gains, then compared against raw odometry on a taped course.
Noise models helped set expectations; the bigger win was detecting when GPS-denied segments needed a different trust profile.
