Research On Vision Based SLAM Technology For UAV

Abstract

The application of Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) technology in the field of UAVs is becoming more and more extensive and in-depth. This paper reviews its rapid development and breakthroughs in recent years, lists some problems that can still be improved, and prospects the development of SLAM technology in the future. The SLAM technology is a powerful and highly flexible technology, whose application in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can improve their operation safety and autonomous work ability. This paper lists some current research results which show the application of SLAM technology based on vision in UAVs plays a key role in obstacle avoidance, positioning and path planning. At the same time, in order to further enhance the help of vision based SLAM technology to UAVs, many emerging technologies are introduced to integrate with it. This paper reviews the impact of integrating SLAM technology based on vision with GPS positioning technology, inertial measurement technology and other technologies on UAVs during operation as well. The relevant research in this paper will play a significant role in the application of vision based SLAM technology in UAVs and the integration with other technologies.
