A filter for inertial-based odometry is a recursive method used to estimate the pose from measurements of ego-motion and relative pose. Currently, there is no known filter that guarantees the computation of a globally optimal solution for the non-linear measurement model. In this paper, we demonstrate that an innovative filter, with the state being SE₂(3) and the √(n)-\textit{consistent} pose as the initialization, efficiently achieves \textit{asymptotic optimality} in terms of minimum mean square error. This approach is tailored for real-time SLAM and inertial-based odometry applications. Our first contribution is that we propose an iterative filtering method based on the Gauss-Newton method on Lie groups which is numerically to solve the estimation of states from a priori and non-linear measurements. The filtering stands out due to its iterative mechanism and adaptive initialization. Second, when dealing with environmental measurements of the surroundings, we utilize a √(n)-consistent pose as the initial value for the update step in a single iteration. The solution is closed in form and has computational complexity O(n). Third, we theoretically show that the approach can achieve asymptotic optimality in the sense of minimum mean square error from the a priori and virtual relative pose measurements (see Problem~\ref{prob:new update problem}). Finally, to validate our method, we carry out extensive numerical and experimental evaluations. Our results consistently demonstrate that our approach outperforms other state-of-the-art filter-based methods, including the iterated extended Kalman filter and the invariant extended Kalman filter, in terms of accuracy and running time.
