Source abstract
This work proposes an innovative approach to enhance the localization of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in dynamic environments. The methodology integrates a sophisticated object-tracking algorithm to augment the established simultaneous localization and mapping (ORB-SLAM) framework, utilizing only a monocular camera setup. Moving objects are detected by harnessing the power of YOLOv4, and a specialized Kalman filter is employed for tracking. The algorithm is integrated into the ORB-SLAM framework to improve UAV pose estimation by correcting the impact of moving elements and effectively removing features connected to dynamic elements from the ORB-SLAM process. Finally, the results obtained are recorded using the TUM RGB-D dataset. The results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively enhance the accuracy of pose estimation and exhibits high accuracy and robustness in real dynamic scenes.
