Abstract:

At present, multi-purpose UAVs mainly rely on the combined navigation of Global Navigation Satellite System(GNSS) and Inertial Measurement Unit(IMU) to achieve high-precision positioning. However, in the cases of strong electromagnetic interference and GNSS rejection in various complex environments, this positioning mode faces the risk of failure. To explore a navigation and positioning method in the GNSS rejection environment,the visual navigation method is studied. To solve the problems of poor intersection accuracy in the elevation direction, lack of absolute scale information, inability to eliminate accumulated errors, and discontinuous positioning trajectory in visual positioning under the condition of small intersection angle of UAV, a bundle adjustment method based on factor graph fusion image matching and visual information is proposed. The problem of autonomous absolute positioning under the small intersection angle of UAV is solved.

Key words: factor graph, bundle adjustment, UAV, visual positioning, image matching
