Payload-Directed Control of Geophysical Magnetic Surveys [PDF]
Using non-navigational (e.g. imagers, scientific) sensor information in control loops is a difficult problem to which no general solution exists. Whether the task can be successfully achieved in a particular case depends highly on problem specifics, such
