3D Relative Localization of Mobile Systems using Distance-only Measurements via Semidefinite Optimization

In a network of cooperating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), individual UAVs usually need to localize themselves in a shared and generally global frame. This paper studies the localization problem for a group of UAVs navigating in three-dimensional space with limited shared information, viz., noisy distance measurements are the only type of interagent sensing that is available, and only one UAV kn...
