Abstract-This work presents a hybrid method for navigation parameter estimation using sequential aerial images, where navigation parameters represent the position and velocity information of an aircraft for autonomous navigation. The proposed hybrid system is composed of two parts: relative position estimation and absolute position estimation. Computer simulation with two different sets of real aerial image sequences shows the effectiveness of the proposed hybrid parameter estimation algorithm.
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.
