  1. 1. UAV Pose Estimation using Sensor Fusion of Inertial, Sonar and Satellite Signals

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för systemteknik

    Author : Kenneth Gustavsson; [2015]
    Keywords : Sensor fusion; Kalman filter; GPS; sonar; IMU; UAV; Sensorfusion; Kalmanfilter; GPS; sonar; IMU; UAV;

    Abstract : In this thesis a system for pose estimation of a quadcopter is developed. The implemented approach is to use a complementary Kalman filter to combine the information from an IMU and sonar sensors on-board the quadcopter with GPS. READ MORE

  3. 2. Extended Kalman Filter for Robust UAV Attitude Estimation

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

    Author : Martin Pettersson; [2015]
    Keywords : Kalman; autonomous; UAV; EKF; attitude; INS; IMU;

    Abstract : Attitude estimation of unmanned aerial vehicles is of great importance as it enables propercontrol of the vehicles. Attitude estimation is typically done by an attitude-heading refer-ence system (ahrs) which utilises different kind of sensors. READ MORE

  4. 3. Pose estimation of a VTOL UAV using IMU, Camera and GPS

    University essay from Reglerteknik

    Author : Fredrik Bodesund; [2010]
    Keywords : Pose Estimation; SLAM; Unified Inverse Depth Parametrisation;

    Abstract : When an autonomous vehicle has a mission to perform, it is of high importance that the robot has good knowledge about its position. Without good knowledge of the position, it will not be able to navigate properly and the data that it gathers, which could be of importance for the mission, might not be usable. READ MORE

  5. 4. Camera Based Terrain Navigation

    University essay from Reglerteknik; Institutionen för systemteknik

    Author : Peter Rosander; [2009]
    Keywords : UAV; Kalman Filter; Particle Filter; Image Processing; Estimation;

    Abstract : The standard way for both ground and aerial vehicles to navigate is to use anInertial Navigation System, INS, containing an Inertial Measurement Unit, IMU,measuring the acceleration and angular rate, and a GPS measuring the position.The IMU provides high dynamic measurements of the acceleration and the angularrate, which the INS integrates to velocity, position and attitude, respectively.

  6. 5. 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
