Visual Measurement Integrity Monitoring for UAV Localization
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
In this paper, we propose a novel approach inspired by RAIM to monitor the integrity of optimization-based visual localization and calculate the protection level of a state estimate, i.e. the largest possible ...
However, to the best of our knowledge, such an approach does not exist for optimization-based visual localization. ...
Although integrity monitoring is a well-developed area for GNSS applications, it is still non-trivial to adapt it in optimization-based UAV visual localization. ...
