Research on the Availability of VINS-Mono and ORB-SLAM3 Algorithms for Aviation

Navigation, which most people have an idea about, is often known as information about how to get from one point to another on the land. Navigation is an interest area for both civil and military aviation. Therefore, we get help from various sensors in order to trace the aircraft route. The most used sensor among them is GPS. It is a sensor that can be out of use although it has high accuracy rates. This research focused on being able to maintain the navigation of an aircraft in the environments where GPS is out of use. There are two visual-inertial navigation systems VINS-Mono and ORB-SLAM3, which are the best known algorithms in the literature, were examined and compared in terms of performance. It has been observed that ORB-SLAM3 outperformed almost twice the VINS-Mono system in various situations.
