The paper tackles the problem of calibrating a stationary camera’s yaw, pitch, and roll using a drone’s GPS trajectory, which suffers from altitude bias, time offset, and discrete sampling. It formulates a parameter estimation problem that jointly estimates the GPS altitude bias, time offset, and camera orientation biases, and proposes a maximum likelihood estimator based on Iterated Least Squares to handle the asynchronous, discrete GPS data. Simulation results show the estimator achieves accuracy close to the Cramér–Rao Lower Bound, with a recommended drone trajectory yielding calibration errors within 14% of the measurement error standard deviation.
arXiv:2606. 31216v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The Doppler velocity log (DVL) velocity measurements are critical to the accuracy of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation solutions and, consequently, to mission success.
arXiv:2607. 05669v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable localization in GNSS-denied environments remains a fundamental challenge for intelligent vehicles, as inertial navigation systems accumulate unbounded drift without external correction.
Accurate six-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) motion estimation is essential for robotic manipulation, autonomous systems, and structural displacement monitoring. Conventional 3D-2D methods estimate absolute camera poses independently at each time and recover platform motion through camera-to-platform extrinsics, making them sensitive to extrinsic calibration errors, especially for micromotion.
