About this paper
Taro Suzuki, Daichi Inoue, Yoshiharu Amano
Suzuki et al. developed a method for robust UAV position and attitude estimation for laser-based 3D mapping, utilizing multiple low-cost, lightweight single-frequency GNSS receivers and explicitly omitting an IMU. This system demonstrated the ability to generate 3D maps with approximately 5 cm accuracy in flight, despite challenging multipath environments.
Key insights
- Utilizing redundancy from multiple low-cost single-frequency GNSS receivers significantly enhances RTK-GNSS fix rates and positioning accuracy, even in challenging multipath environments.
- Analyzing the consistency of satellite signal characteristics across multiple antennas provides an effective mechanism for detecting and mitigating multipath interference.
- Accurate UAV position and attitude estimation for centimeter-level 3D mapping can be achieved without relying on expensive and heavy IMUs, reducing system complexity, weight, and cost for small UAV platforms.
