Abstract: | Conventional UAV (abbr. Unmanned Air Vehicle) auto-pilot systems uses GPS signal for navigation. While the GPS signal is lost, jammed or the UAV is navigating in GPS-denied environment conventional autopilot systems fail to navigate safely. UAV should estimate it’s own position without the need of external signals. Localization, the process of pose estimation relatively to known environment, may solve the problem of navigation without GPS signal. Downward looking camera on a UAV may be used to solve pose estimation problem in combination with visual odometry and other sensor data. In this paper a vision-based particle filter application is proposed to solve GPS-denied UAV localization. The application uses visual odometry for motion estimation, correlation coefficient for apriori known map image matching with aerial imagery, KLD (abbr. Kueller-Leiblach distance) sampling for particle filtering. Research using data collected during real UAV flight is performed to investigate: UAV heading influence on correlation coefficient values when matching aerial imagery with the map and measure localization accuracy compared to conventional GPS system and state-of-the-art odometry. |
