Integrated INS/GPS/Optical Camera for UAV Control

摘要

This paper is focused on the possibility of integration of inertial navigation system and optical system. Modern control systems for UAV include microelectromechanical or fiberoptic gyros and accelerometer integrated with GPS. These navigation systems are complex with periodic correction of parameters. The main advantages of these systems are low cost and small overall dimensions. That's why these systems can be used in different applications for specific plants. However, failing navigation satellites, disturbances, motions in the buildings causes the system nonoperability. The perspective way to provide the operation of such systems is using optical sensors and systems, that allows to carry out correction during video images processing.
