Towards Autonomous Fixed-Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Landing: A Vision-Aided Inertial Navigation under Sensor Reconfiguration Scenario
While autonomous landing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) requires accurate position estimation, the standard inertial navigation unit (INU, the inertial measurement unit with a global positioning system (GPS)) provides relatively poor accuracy in altitude estimation. A common solution for this problem is to aid the INU with additional sensors and/or ground infrastructures, but the main hurdl...
متن کاملAdding Optical Flow into the GPS/INS Integration for UAV navigation
Autonomously operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have a great potential for many applications such as reconnaissance, mapping and surveillance. Whilst needing low cost and light weight navigation systems in their implementations, sensors like GPS or low cost inertial sensors can’t separately provide either the complete set of information or the required degree of accuracy. Multi-sensor sol...
متن کاملPerformance of a Monocular Vision-aided Inertial Navigation System for a Small UAV
The use of optical sensors for navigation on aircraft has receive much attention recently. Optical sensors provide a wealth of information about the environment and are standard payloads for many unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) algorithms using optical sensors have become computationally feasible in real time in the last ten years. However, implemen...
متن کاملIntegration of Gps/ins/vision Sensors to Navigate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
This paper presents an integrated GPS/INS/Vision navigation system for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). A CCD (ChargeCoupled Device) video camera and laser rangefinder (LRF) based vision system, combined with inertial sensors, provides the information on the vertical and horizontal movements of the UAV (helicopter) relative to the ground, which is critical for the safety of UAV operations. Two ...
متن کاملCalibration of an Inertial Accelerometer using Trained Neural Network by Levenberg-Marquardt Algorithm for Vehicle Navigation
The designing of advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles needs measurement of dynamical variations of vehicle, such as acceleration, velocity and yaw rate. Designed adaptive controllers to control lateral and longitudinal vehicle dynamics are based on the measured variables. Inertial MEMS-based sensors have some benefits including low price and low consumption that make them ...
