About the company and the project:
Position in a company specializing in on advanced navigation systems for UAV operations, focused on developing robust solutions that increase autonomy and reliability, especially in environments where GPS may not work. The project involves the development of a satellite image processing algorithm for reliable work in an unstable environment with GPS and a navigation algorithm for autonomous navigation, return and stay in areas where GPS is unavailable. The first algorithm correlates real-time optical data from cameras mounted on the UAV with pre-existing satellite images to determine the location. A second algorithm captures the image to create a detailed visual trajectory, allowing the UAV to track its flight or loiter. The technologies are designed for integration into various platforms, ensuring the survivability of UAVs against radio-electronic interference.
