摘要: This paper describes a method for estimating wind field (wind velocity, rate of change and gradient) small mini unmanned aerial vehicles. The approach uses sensors that are already part standard autopilot sensor suite (Global Positioning System, inertial measurement unit, airspeed, magnetometer). primary motivation is enabling energy harvesting; secondary development low-cost atmospheric sampling system. presents an error analysis discusses the contributions to in estimated field. Results Monte Carlo simulations compare predicted errors estimates with actual show effect using winds harvesting from gusts.
