UAV Distance Estimation

Accurate distance estimation between unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is crucial for safe and efficient swarm operation, particularly in obstacle-rich environments. Current research focuses on improving the accuracy of distance measurements using techniques like stereo triangulation, enhanced by novel position correction modules to mitigate errors from factors such as camera vibration and long distances. Furthermore, studies explore minimizing safe separation distances through improved UAV-to-UAV communication and enhanced Remote ID formats, incorporating factors like localization precision and airframe size into safety calculations. These advancements are vital for enabling denser UAV deployments and more complex autonomous operations.
