Abstract

The aim of this work is to design a SLAM algorithm for localization and mapping of aerial platform for ocean observation. The aim is to determine the direction of travel, given that the aerial platform flies over the water surface and in an environment with few static features and dynamic background. This approach is inspired by the bird techniques which use landmarks as navigation direction. In this case, the blimp is chosen as the platform, therefore the payload is the most important concern in the design so that the desired lift can be achieved. The results show the improved SLAM is were able to achieve the desired waypoint.
