Visual-based navigation systems for Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAVs) have become an interesting research area focused on improving robustness and accuracy in the urban environment. However, a lack of integrity can damage UAVs, limiting their potential usage in civil applications. For safety reasons, integrity performance requirements must be met. In literature, such systems require significant attention for their ability to perform fault analysis, referred to as failure mode. In this paper, we have conducted a failure mode analysis in urban environments for UAVs to identify threats and faults presented in existing Visual-inertial Navigation Systems. In addition, we propose a federated-filter-based fault detection and execution system to improve navigation performance under faulted conditions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
