%0 Journal Article %T Combination of an Inertial Measurement Unit and a Camera for Defining the Position of an Airplane %J - %D 2017 %X In this article we propose a method of using the extended Kalman filter combined with an inertial navigation system and a camera to assist in determining the location and calculate the parameters of a helicopter. These observations are combined with an inertial measurement instrument which uses the Kalman filter to collect accurately and promptly information about the location of a plane. The algorithms is simulated on Simulink and hardened by using dsPIC33F256 chip. %K Inertial Navigation Systems %K Kalman %K Helicopter %U http://www.sciencepublishinggroup.com/journal/paperinfo?journalid=149&doi=10.11648/j.sjams.20170502.13
