Installation design for survey and improvement of filtration system algorithms of small UAV inertial sensors

Small unmanned aircraft is made use in the constantly increasing number of applications. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are applied for aerial surveys, freight transportation, different measurements, surveillance and examination of various sites, etc. Multirotor UAVs are the most common type of small UAVs. Control principle of movement in space for this type of UAVs is based on roll and pitch angles, consequently, acquiring valid information about UAV orientation in space is essential for stabilization quality and flying dynamics. Microelectromechanical (MEMS) inertial sensors are traditionally employed for small UAVs given their small size and low cost. However this type of sensors especially cheap ones should be aided by filtration algorithms to provide proper signal quality. The present paper considers a survey installation for analysis and adjustment of filtration algorithms of an inertial sensor system.
