Experimental Validation of a Constrained Relative Attitude Determination Approach for Two Vehicle Formations
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an experimental validation of a method of determining the relative attitude matrix between two quadrotors using line-of-sight vectors between each other as well as a common reference location. The result of the line-of-sight vector method is compared to the relative attitude matrix obtained from a motion capture system which is taken as the ground truth. The difference between the two measurements is calculated and then analyzed to characterize the error that occurs in the sensor model.

Constrained Relative Attitude Determination for Two Vehicle Formations
This paper studies constrained relative attitude determination of a formation of two vehicles. A deterministic solution for the relative attitude between the two vehicles with line-of-sight observations between them and a common object observed by both vehicles is presented. The constraint may be either a planar constraint or a triangle constraint of the observed vectors. The difference between...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis for Constrained Relative Attitude Determination Involving Two Vehicle Formations
In this paper a constrained relative attitude determination solution of a formation of two vehicles is considered and the effect of constraint violation on the estimation error is studied. The solution for the relative attitude between the two vehicles is obtained only using line-of-sight measurements between them and a common (unknown) object observed by both vehicles. The solution represents ...
متن کاملFisher Information Based Analysis of Deterministic Relative Attitude Observability in Planar Vehicle Formations
This paper examines the problem of relative attitude observability for formations of three, four and five vehicle formations. The analysis is rooted in within the principles of maximum likelihood estimation insomuch as the metric for observability is the resulting Fisher information matrix for the small attitude errors. For formations of three and four vehicles it is shown that the relative att...
متن کاملGPS Sensing for Spacecraft Formation Flying
Carrier-phase Di erential GPS (CDGPS) for orbit and attitude determination is emerging as a very promising low cost alternative to more conventional methods, such as sun sensors, magnetometers, and star trackers. Relative spacecraft position and attitude determination are important for missions involving formation ying, such as those proposed for stellar interferometry under NASA's New Millenni...
متن کاملTrim and Maneuverability Analysis Using a New Constrained PSO Approach of a UAV
Performance characteristic of an Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) is investigated using a newly developed heuristic approach. Almost all flight phases of any air vehicle can be categorized into trim and maneuvering flights. In this paper, a new envelope called trim-ability envelope, is introduced and sketched within the conventional flight envelope for a small UAV. Optimal maneuverability of the inte...
