Randomized trial validates a vision-based localization framework for UAVs in diverse terrains, highlighting implications for navigation accuracy.

This study aims to develop a vision-based localization framework for UAV navigation in GNSS-denied environments.
Proposed framework utilizes satellite true orthophotos and Digital Surface Models (DSMs) as geospatial references.
Integrated deep learning architectures (SuperPoint, LightGlue) for robust feature correspondences.
Collected a multi-altitude dataset (100-250 m) across diverse terrains for experimental validation.
Achieved meter-level absolute positioning accuracy with stable pose estimation.
Localization success rates improved significantly in geometrically structured urban scenes at moderate-to-high altitudes.
Low-texture environments and lower flight altitudes presented challenges for continuous visual tracking.
