Design and Implementation of Sensing and Estimation Software in Aggienav, a Small Uav Navigation Platform

چکیده
ABSTRACT Small UAV performance is limited by the sensors and software filters used in the navigational systems. Several solutions of various complexity and cost exist, however no ready-made solutions exist for a high-accuracy, low-cost UAV system. Presented is the design (low-level system as well as high-level extended Kalman filter) for a specifically designed small-UAV navigation platform, AggieNav.

متن کاملGyroscope Drift Error Analysis in the Position-Independent Navigation Algorithm of a stable platform Inertial System
This paper deals with analyzing gyroscope drift error in the position-independent navigation algorithm of a stable platform inertial system. Most of the stable platform navigation algorithms proposed in the literature have drawbacks of estimating position rates for alignment commands. Not only the estimating position rates are the basic source of position errors, but they also make the alignmen...
