Adaptive Multi-Sensor Fusion Based Object Tracking for Autonomous Urban Air Mobility Operations
Abstract
Autonomous operations are a crucial aspect in the context of Urban Air Mobility and other emerging aviation markets. In order to enable this autonomy, systems must be able to build independently an accurate and detailed understanding of the own vehicle state as well as the surrounding environment, this includes detecting and avoiding moving objects in the sky, which can be cooperative (aircraft, UAM vehicles, etc.) as well as noncooperative (smaller drones, birds, ...). This paper focuses on the object tracking part that relies on adaptive multi-sensor fusion, taking into account specific properties and limitations of different sensor types. Results show the impact of dropouts of individual sensors on the accuracy of the tracking results for this adaptive sensor fusion approach.
