Abstract

Prior work by the authors was a first step towards development of aircraft-based guidance and navigation sensors to reduce the decision height of a Localizer Performance with Vertical (LPV) approach from 200ft to 0 ft. They developed a vision-based parameter estimation algorithm which performed well when tested in a simulation environment. The current work will improve on this using sensor and information fusion algorithms that combine data from vision, and simulated Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) in X-plane for position estimation. © 2024 by the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc.
