Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for validating a position of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are provided. A method can include receiving map data for a location, the map data including labeled data for a plurality of landmarks in a vicinity of the location. The method can include generating image data for the location, the image data being derived from images of the vicinity generated by the UAV including at least a subset of the plurality of landmarks. The method can include determining a visual position of the UAV using the image data and the map data. The method can include determining a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) position of the UAV. The method can include generating an error signal using the visual position and the GNSS position. The method can also include validating the GNSS position in accordance with the error signal satisfying a transition condition.
