The paper considers an original autonomous correction algorithm for UAV navigation system based on comparison between terrain images obtained by onboard machine vision system and vector topographic map images. Comparison is performed by calculating the homography of vision system images segmented using the convolutional neural network and the vector map images. The presented results of mathematical and flight experiments confirm the algorithm effectiveness for navigation applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
