Abstract

Because of the lack of GPS signal and strong magnetic field interference in indoor environment, the indoor localization of micro aerial vehicle(MAV)is a challenging problem in practice. In this paper, an MAV indoor positioning algorithm is proposed, which does not rely on magnetic compass and GPS. The improved unscented Kalman filter (UKF) algorithm is used to fuse the information only four ultrasonic sensors and the Inertial Measurement Unit carried by the drone itself to localize in the indoor environment with a prior map. This method does not rely on magnetic compass, so it greatly reduces the impact of indoor electromagnetic environment on localization. Results from simulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
