Optical Flow Sensor/INS/Magnetometer Integrated Navigation System for MAV in GPS-Denied Environment

The drift of inertial navigation system (INS) will lead to large navigation error when a low-cost INS is used in microaerial vehicles (MAV). To overcome the above problem, an INS/optical flow/magnetometer integrated navigation scheme is proposed for GPS-denied environment in this paper. The scheme,...
