HDOP and VDOP Analysis in an Ideal Placement Environment for Dual GNSSs.

Increasing the number of satellites in a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) improves the positioning accuracy and increases availability. However, it reduces the positioning accuracy improvement rate and increases the calculation loads, which can cause battery usage problems in mobile devices using a GNSS. An appropriate satellite selection method is required.

Integrated Pose Estimation Using 2D Lidar and INS Based on Hybrid Scan Matching.

Point cloud data is essential measurement information that has facilitated an extended functionality horizon for urban mobility. While 3D lidar and image-depth sensors are superior in implementing mapping and localization, sense and avoidance, and cognitive exploration in an unknown area, applying 2D lidar is inevitable for systems with limited resources of weight and computational power, for instance, in an aerial mobility system. In this paper, we propose a new pose estimation scheme that reflects the characteristics of extracted feature point information from 2D lidar on the NDT framework for exploiting an improved point cloud registration.

Study on Improved Flight Coefficient Estimation and Trajectory Analysis of a Flying Disc through Onboard Magnetometer Measurements.

This paper proposes a novel and accurate method for estimating the flight coefficient of a flying disc typically operating at a high rotation rate. In particular, the proposed method introduces a new algorithm that takes advantage of magnetic data measured by a miniaturized sensor module onboard a conventional disc. Since the geomagnetic field measured by the magnetic sensor mounted on the rotating body yields a general sinusoidal waveform, a frequency domain analysis is employed in computing the rotational rate.
