AI Optical Navigation System
Navigate in GPS denied environment
One of my greatest achievement was to design and build a system allowing a fixed-wing UAV to navigate without GPS using optical systems in less than a month.
We managed to fly 16km with 50m precision without GPS
We used a combination of classical odometry algorithms calibrated with AI image recognition tools to cancel the drift of the dead-reckoning system
We simplified the integration to the autopilot by emulating NMEA frame
