Description

Shared reference frame definition for in-door, GPS-denied, cluttered, unknown environment. Base station needs to share it's pose/position estimate with all other drones during operation. Localization challenge, when beacons are moving in the map-frame.

Improvements

Current state-of-the-art for such reference frames: ROS Movebase's odom in map frame updates. However, sharing such a reference frame is not common yet. Especially when GPS-denied environment. (ROS is mostly aimed at using Odom/IMU/Visual/LIDAR)
