Navigation Error Reduction in Swarm of UAVs
نویسندگان
چکیده
For large area surveillance, a number of UAVs are preferred. In such situation, navigation becomes a prime factor, which reduces the chance of collision. UAVs primarily depend on GPS, which has an order of inaccuracy. Conventional correction methods like differential GPS needs extra hardware and cannot improve stochastic errors like multipath error and receiver error. In this paper we demonstrate a novel technique to reduce the GPS error, in a swarm of UAVs.

Adaptive Swarm Formation Control for Hybrid Ground and Aerial Assets
The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) allows for cooperation, coordination, and tight or loose collaboration related to multiple missions. UAVs can provide a global perspective of the surrounding environment, obstacles, and possible threats, broadcasting goals, sub-goals and alterations to the overall mission of the swarm. Further, the deployment of UAV...

متن کاملGPS Jamming Detection in UAV Navigation Using Visual Odometry and HOD Trajectory Descriptor
Auto-navigating of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the outdoor environment is performed by using the Global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The power of the GPS signal on the earth surface is very low. This can affect the performance of GPS receivers in the environments contaminated with the other source of radio frequency interference (RFI). GPS jamming and spoofing are the most serious a...
