GPS-based aerial navigation can fail due to unintentional radio frequency interference, or malicious jamming and spoofing. Spacemetric cooperates with the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm to tackle this problem using visual navigation. The paper presents results of ongoing research with image-based deep learning methods and an innovative approach to Terrain Referenced Navigation.
