| Abstract : | Motivated by the requirements of micro air vehicles, we present a simple method for estimating the position, heading and altitude of an aerial robot by tracking the image of a communicating GPS-localized ground robot. The image-to-GPS mapping thus generated can be used to localize other objects on the ground. Results from experiments with real robots are described., |
