A LOCAL SPATIAL POSITIONING SYSTEM FOR AN UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE BASED ON THE BEARING OF TEMPERATURE-CONTRASTING ELEMENTS OF ITS DESIGN

Background. The content of approaches and technologies for the development of a local spatial positioning system for an unmanned aerial vehicle based on the bearing of temperature-contrasting elements of its design is analyzed. Materials and methods. The variants of the spatial arrangement of the measuring elements of the system and their effect on the accuracy of the unmanned aerial vehicle positioning are presented. Results and conclusions. The principle of operation of a local spatial positioning system of an unmanned aerial vehicle based on the bearing of temperature-contrast (color-contrast) elements of its design is formulated. The algorithm and mathematical model of such a system are given.
