RTAPM: A Robust Top-View Absolute Positioning Method with Visual–Inertial Assisted Joint Optimization by Pengfei Tong, Xuerong Yang, Xuanzhi Peng, Longfei Wang

“…By comparing real-time aerial images with pre-existing satellite images of the flight area, utilizing components such as template geo-registration, UAV motion constraints, point–line image matching, and joint state estimation, a method is provided to substitute satellites and obtain short-term absolute positioning information of UAVs in challenging and dynamic environments. Based on two open-source datasets and real-time flight experimental tests, the method proposed in this study has significant advantages in positioning accuracy and system robustness over existing typical UAV absolute positioning methods, and it can temporarily replace GNSS for application in challenging environments such as disaster aid or forest rescue.…”
