Wind and State Estimation on SE(3): Comparative Evaluation of EKF and UKF with Continuous and Discrete Quadrotor Models

arXiv:2606.30804v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Use of quadrotor UAVs for wind velocity estimation is gaining popularity in recent studies, leveraging their maneuverability, compact size and low cost. Among available approaches, model-based wind velocity estimation is most commonly used, since it relies only on onboard sensors. However, as the quadrotor is a highly nonlinear system, thus making this task challenging. This study evaluate the use of both discrete and continuous dynamic equations o...
