A Wind Estimation Method with an Unmanned Rotorcraft for Environmental Monitoring Tasks

Wind velocity (strength and direction) is an important parameter for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based environmental monitoring tasks. A novel wind velocity estimation method is proposed for rotorcrafts. Based on an extended state observer, this method derives the wind disturbance from rotors&...
