Abstract:In the research of of rotorcraft UAV, in order to improve the positioning accuracy in the lack of GPS environment, a SLAM-based integrated navigation algorithm for rotorcraft is proposed in the paper. Firstly, completing SLAM process based on scan matching algorithm by introducing bilinear interpolation algorithm. Then, establishing the strapdown inertial navigation system error model, and simplifying the error model for the use environment of the rotor UAV. Finally, the Federated Kalman filter algorithm is designed to fuse the SLAM algorithm with the data output by the strapdown inertial navigation system. The simulation results show that the accuracy of position estimation and attitude estimation is improved by using the SLAM-based integrated navigation algorithm.
