Wind Speed and Direction Detection by Means of Solid-state Anemometers Embedded on Small Quadcopters

Wind Speed and Direction Detection by Means of Solid-state Anemometers Embedded on Small Quadcopters

This work describes the application of a compact, MEMS-based, 2D anemometer to the estimation of a quadrotor's airspeed. Correcting for the vehicle's ground speed provided by internal GPS and inertial units allows this low cost, mobile platform to provide local wind speed estimates. A seri...
