Aerial Localization and Navigation for Surveillance of Large, Featureless, GNSS‐Denied Maritime Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 42, Issue 8, Page 4215-4235, December 2025.
ABSTRACT In this study, we tackle the problem of surveilling a large area over the sea without access to the global navigation satellite system (GNSS) while searching for the known target vessel. The system utilizes an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with long‐range radio frequency (LoRa) localization and an RGB camera to detect the target ...
