Performance and accuracy of cross‐section tracking methods for hydromorphological habitat assessment in wadable rivers with sparse canopy conditions
Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Robin Schroff
This article investigates the performance and accuracy of continuous Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) position tracking for hydromorphological surveys, based on a comprehensive river restoration monitoring campaign. The a ...
2024VDMNav: Software Architecture for Aerodynamically Constrained Navigation on Small Fixed-Wing Drones
Jan Skaloud, Gabriel François Laupré
Navigation of drones is predominantly based on sensor fusion algorithms. Most of these algorithms make use of some form of Bayesian filtering with a majority employing an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), wherein inertial measurements are fused with a Global N ...
2024Identifying aerodynamics of small fixed-wing drones using inertial measurements for model-based navigation
Jan Skaloud, Gabriel François Laupré
The success of drone missions is incumbent on an accurate determination of the drone pose and velocity, which are collectively estimated by fusing iner- tial measurement unit and global navigation satellite system (GNSS) mea- surements. However, during a G ...

2023Towards real-world biomechanical analysis of performance and functional capacity using wearable sensors
Today, wearable heart rate monitors are an integral part of runners' training sessions, with heart rate data routinely used to assess effort intensity and stress on the body. As athletes translate their physical capacity into performance on the field throu ...
EPFL2022UWB-based system for UAV Localization in GNSS-Denied Environments: Characterization and Dataset
Dario Floreano, Fabrizio Schiano
Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have penetrated multiple domains over the past years. In GNSS-denied or indoor environments, aerial robots require a robust and stable localization system, often with external feedback, in order to fly safely. Motion ca ...
2020X-ray pulsar-based GNC system for formation flying in high Earth orbits
Volker Gass, Camille Sébastien Pirat
In this paper, comprehensive pulsar-based Guidance, Navigation and Control (GNC) system is designed and applied to satellites formation flying. The complete autonomy of the X-ray pulsar navigation technology provides both absolute and relative positioning ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2020Sensitivity to Time Delays in VDM-Based Navigation
Jan Skaloud, Gabriel François Laupré, Mehran Khaghani
A recently proposed navigation methodology for aerial platforms based on the vehicle dynamic model (VDM) has shown promising results in terms of navigation autonomy. Its practical realization requires that control inputs are related to the same absolute ti ...
2019Real-world gait speed estimation using wrist sensor: A personalized approach
Kamiar Aminian, Hooman Dejnabadi, Abolfazl Soltani, Martin Savary
Gait speed is an important parameter to characterize people's daily mobility. For real-world speed measurement, inertial sensors or Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) can be used on wrist, possibly integrated in a wristwatch. However, power consumpt ...
2019Distributed State Estimation and Control of Autonomous Quadrotor Formations Using Exclusively Onboard Resources
The navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles operating in environments without global positioning systems, including global navigation satellite systems and motion capture systems, is a recent research topic, without much work reported in the literature. In ...
