  1. 1. Real-Time Monocular SLAM System Using an Inertial Measurement Unit to Estimate the Metric Scale and Gravity Direction

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTH

    Author : Patrik Persson; [2018]
    Keywords : Computer vision; SLAM; sensor fusion; autonomous drones; Technology and Engineering; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : In this work a simultaneous localisation and mapping system, SLAM, has been constructed which can incorporate inertial measurement unit, IMU, data such as accelerometer and gyroscope data to estimate the metric scale and the relationship to the gravity vector of the SLAM solution. The system can perform accurate pose predictions at 100Hz based on IMU data and previous camera poses. READ MORE

  2. 2. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Using Radar and Radio Transmitters

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Reglerteknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolan

    Author : Alfred Dahlin; [2014]
    Keywords : SLAM; simultaneous localisation and mapping; UAV; unmanned aerial vehicle; bearing-only; EKF SLAM; radio transmitters;

    Abstract : The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a cornerstone in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) navigation and is by far the most common way to obtain the position of a UAV. However, since there are many scenarios in which GPS measurements might not be available, the possibility of estimating the UAV position without using the GPS would greatly improve the overall robustness of the navigation.

  3. 3. Evaluating SLAM algorithms for Autonomous Helicopters

    University essay from Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Martin Skoglund; [2008]
    Keywords : SLAM; UAV; Information Matrix; Covariance Matrix; Information Filter; Kalman Filter; Estimation;

    Abstract : Navigation with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) requires good knowledge of the current position and other states. A UAV navigation system often uses GPS and inertial sensors in a state estimation solution. READ MORE
