Abstract: This paper presents an online localization estimation of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) by fusing data provided by the on-board flight controller and a LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) carried by the UAV. Pose estimations solely obtained by the UAV are often corrupted by noise or instrumentation limitation, which may lead to erroneous mapping of the environment. To correct potential estimation errors, the LiDAR scans are assembled into a local point cloud history and matched against a partial map of the environment using a proposed point cloud registration method, similar to a Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) approach. The resulting correction is incorporated into the estimation of the UAV using an asynchronous Kalman Filter implementation. For this work, only the altitude errors are corrected by the registration. We conducted tests on a local thermal power plant which contained three large coal stockpiles. We chose one of them as our Region of Interest (ROI).
