A key limitation of current multi-robot systems is a lack of relative localization, particularly in environments without GPS or motion capture systems. This article presents a centralized method for relatively localizing a 2D swarm using…

In this work, we argue that current state-of-the-art methods of aircraft localization such as multilateration are insufficient, in particular for modern crowdsourced air traffic networks with random, unplanned deployment geometry. We…

This paper proposes an integrated framework for coordinating multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in a distributed manner to persistently enclose and track a moving target without relying on external localization systems. The proposed…

In this paper, we investigate the problem of UAV-aided user localization in wireless networks. Unlike the existing works, we do not assume perfect knowledge of the UAV location, hence we not only need to localize the users but also to track…

We propose a vision-based method that localizes a ground vehicle using publicly available satellite imagery as the only prior knowledge of the environment. Our approach takes as input a sequence of ground-level images acquired by the…

This letter introduces a novel unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) structure into near-field localization systems to enhance the design flexibility of IRS, thereby obtaining additional performance gains.…

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can be used as aerial wireless base stations when cellular networks go down. Prior studies on UAV-based wireless coverage typically consider an Air-to-Ground path loss model, which assumes that the users are…

Consider an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that searches for an unknown number of targets at unknown positions in 3D space. A particle filter uses imperfect measurements about the targets to update an intensity function that represents the…

The availability of real-world data is a key element for novel developments in the fields of automotive and traffic research. Aerial imagery has the major advantage of recording multiple objects simultaneously and overcomes limitations such…

In this paper, a combat Unmanned Air Vehicle (UAV) is modeled in the simulation environment. The rotary wing UAV is successfully performed various tasks such as locking on the targets, tracking, and sharing the relevant data with…

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle mounted base stations (UAV-BSs) can provide wireless services in a variety of scenarios. In this letter, we propose an optimal placement algorithm for UAV-BSs that maximizes the number of covered users using the…

Cooperative Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) in GPS-denied environments demand an accurate pose-localization system to ensure efficient operation. In this paper we present a novel visual relative localization system capable of monitoring a…

Deploying multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to locate a signal-emitting source covers a wide range of military and civilian applications like rescue and target tracking. It is well known that the UAVs-source (sensors-target)…

Reliable positioning services are extremely important for users and devices in mountainous environments as it enables a variety of location-based applications. However, in such environments, the service reliability of conventional wireless…

Autonomous operation of UAVs in a closed environment requires precise and reliable pose estimate that can stabilize the UAV without using external localization systems such as GNSS. In this work, we are concerned with estimating the pose…

This paper presents a novel approach for localising a GPS (Global Positioning System)-denied Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) with the aid of a GPS-equipped UAV in three-dimensional space. The GPS-equipped UAV makes discrete-time broadcasts of…

Deploying unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) networks to provide coverage for outdoor users has attracted great attention during the last decade. However, outdoor coverage is challenging due to the high mobility of crowds and the diverse terrain…

We propose a new approach to visual perception for relative localization of agents within large-scale swarms of UAVs. Inspired by biological perception utilized by schools of sardines, swarms of bees, and other large groups of animals…

We propose a new approach towards RSS (Received Signal Strength) based wireless localisation for scenarios where, instead of absolute positioning of an object, only the information whether an object is inside or outside of a specific area…

The flapping-wing aerial vehicle (FWAV) is a new type of flying robot that mimics the flight mode of birds and insects. However, FWAVs have their special characteristics of less load capacity and short endurance time, so that most existing…
