UAV Position Estimation and Collision Avoidance Using the Extended Kalman Filter

Abstract: Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play an invaluable role in information collection and data fusion. Because of their mobility and the complexity of deployed environments, constant position awareness and collision avoidance are essential. UAVs may encounter and/or cause danger if their Global Positioning System (GPS) signal is weak or unavailable. This paper tackles the problem of constant positioning and collision avoidance on UAVs in outdoor (wildness) search scenarios by using received signal strength (RSS) f… Show more

“…In order to improve the accuracy of RSS based localization, Chandrasekaran et al exploited the correlations in positioning errors over time. Practical application of RSS measurements was demonstrated in [1], [26], which implemented positioning and collision avoidance algorithms in unmanned aerial vehicle networks.…”

“…In [15], the lower bound of the determinant of the FIM matrix was used as reward function, while the parameters evaluating distance from the observer to target were ignored due to its inaccuracy. The observer's trajectories in all those researches do not consider the constraints of the threat environment, while obstacle/threat avoidance is the pure control or decision methodology applied for an autonomous flight of UAV [16,17], which has little connection with BOT problem. Thus, it remains difficult to ensure that the observer's maneuvering trajectories satisfy the requirements of BOT and the threat avoidance at the same time.…”
