Abstract

Recently, UAV has been widely used in various fields. The attitude estimation of autonomous UAV is an important basis for its autonomous flight mission. The attitude estimation technique based on GNSS is a traditional positioning method. However, it is a challenge to provide a high precision estimation when GNSS signal cannot be used. This paper summarizes the research status of attitude estimation based on vision or other multi-sensors when GNSS signal is not available. And the various improved methods of KF in UAV attitude positioning are introduced. Then the attitude estimation methods of UAV in multi-aircraft cooperative flight are analyzed. In the end, several issues worthy of attention in the further research are proposed. It should contribute to the further research on autonomous UAV navigation.
