Abstract
Disclosed is a nighttime cooperative positioning method based on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) group, falling within the technical field of aircraft navigation and positioning. According to the present disclosure, the cooperative visual positioning and the collision warning for UAVs are realized by means of light colors of the UAVs, respective two-dimensional turntable cameras and a communication topology network, without adding additional equipment and without relying on an external signal source, avoiding external interference. Compared with the positioning method in a conventional manner, in the present disclosure, the system is effectively simplified, and the cooperative positioning among the interiors of a UAV cluster can be realized relatively simply and at a low cost to maintain the formation of the UAV group.
