Relative Pose Estimation of an Unmanned Aerial System to a Naval Vessel Using Gaussian Splatting

AIAA SciTech Forum, 2026
Andrew Bernas, Nolan Jess, Levi DeVries, Armon Shariati, Donald H. Costello.

Precise relative pose estimation between Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and naval vessels is critical for autonomous operations, particularly in GPS-degraded environments where jamming or spoofing risks catastrophic failure. Addressing the limitations of current vision-based methods that often rely on physical... Read More
