Unit dual quaternion-based pose optimisation for visual runway observations

Unit dual quaternion-based pose optimisation for visual runway observations

This study addresses the pose estimation problem of an aircraft runway using visual observations in a landing approach scenario. The authors utilised the fact that the geodetic coordinates of most runways are known precisely with highly visible markers. Thus, the runway observations can increase the...
