Insight into Autonomous Navigation of Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAV)

Researchers focus mainly on autonomous navigation of Micro Aerial Vehicle (MAVs) in GPS-denied environments. This is because MAVs offer major advantages when used for aerial surveillance, reconnaissance, and inspection in complex and dangerous environments. Indeed, they are better suited for dull, dirty, or dangerous missions than manned aircraft. MAV is a class of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAVs). Further, many technological, economic, and political factors have encouraged the development and operation of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAVs) and its class of MAVs. This review provides knowledge about different methodologies available to confer autonomy to MAV.
