Lightweight infrared sensing for relative navigation of quadrotors

A lightweight solution for estimating position and velocity relative to a known marker is presented. The marker consists of three infrared (IR) LEDs in a fixed pattern. Using an IR camera with a 100 Hz update rate, the range and bearing to the marker are calculated. This information is then fused wi...
