Compensating UAV GPS Through use of Relative Positioning to a UGV

Sunghun Jung, Tamzidul Mina, and Kartik B. Ariyur

Abstract:	Performance of low-quality GPS attached on UAVs can be extensively improved by using three GPS modules on a UGV and using Image Detection algorithm called NyARToolkit algorithm. This implies that every UAV consisting of a group flight does not need to carry expensive GPS module since a low-quality GPS can be calibrated to be highly precise one. This will decrease the expense of projects related with UAV swarming behaviors.
