Analysis of image-based navigation system for rotorcraft low-altitude flight
B. Sridhar, Anil V. Phatak · IEEE Transactions on Systems Man and Cybernetics · 1992
Some of the issues in the location of objects using a sequence of images from a passive sensor are examined. Image-object differential equations for a rotorcraft executing an arbitrary maneuver are developed. Assuming an onboard inertial navigation system for rotorcraft and state estimation, this study considers how object location is affected by the choice of Kalman filter estimation technique, the rotorcraft, and the object. Simulation results are presented.>
