Radar is a valuable sensor to support mini-UAS navigation in complex environments where GPS signal may be neither available nor reliable. Based on the increasing availability of compact radar sensors for mini-UAS, this work presents the results of an experimental campaign in which radar is tested as a standalone navigation sensor through radar odometry. A novel strategy for rejecting radar outliers is discussed, which will enhance robustness and accuracy of radar-only navigation.

Abstract
Radar is a valuable sensor to support mini-UAS navigation in complex environments where GPS signal may be neither available nor reliable. Based on the increasing availability of compact radar sensors for mini-UAS, this work presents the results of an experimental campaign in which radar is tested as a standalone navigation sensor through radar odometry. A novel strategy for rejecting radar outliers is discussed, which will enhance robustness and accuracy of radar-only navigation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
