Secure Navigation using Landmark-based Localization in a GPS-denied Environment

arXiv:2402.14280v1 Announce Type: cross
Abstract: In modern battlefield scenarios, the reliance on GPS for navigation can be a critical vulnerability. Adversaries often employ tactics to deny or deceive GPS signals, necessitating alternative methods for the localization and navigation of mobile troops. Range-free localization methods such as DV-HOP rely on radio-based anchors and their average hop distance which suffers from accuracy and stability in a dynamic and sparse network topology. Vision-based approaches like SLAM and Visual Odometry use sensor fusion techniques …
