  1. 21. Analysis of autonomous flight algorithms for an unmanned aerial vehicle

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Author : Mattias Sjöberg; [2018]
    Keywords : UAV; SLAM; Split-And-Merge; APFA; V-REP; Inverse dynamics; FBLC; EKF;

    Abstract : Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have been heavily studied in the past decade, where autonomous flights have been a popular subject. More complex applications have led to higher requirements on the autonomous flight algorithms and the absence of performance data complicates the selection of what algorithm to use for various applications.

  5. 24. A Path Planning Approach for Context Aware Autonomous UAVs used for Surveying Areas in Developing Regions

    University essay from KTH/Mekatronik

    Author : Fredrika Kringberg; [2018]
    Keywords : Unmanned aerial vehicles; Autonomous vehicles; Area surveying; Navigation; Path planning; Potential field; Object detection;

    Abstract : Developing regions are often characterized by large areas that are poorly reachable or explored. The mapping and census of roaming populations in these areas are often difficult and sporadic. A recent spark in the development of small aerial vehicles has made them the perfect tool to efficiently and accurately monitor these areas. READ MORE

  6. 25. 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
