Abstract

A possibility is studied to use an extreme-correlation navigation system basing on relief-metric optoelectronic system for high-precision and robust aircraft positioning. A technique is suggested to evaluate aircraft position using relief information retrieved from optical characteristics of underlying terrain. Simulation data confirm sufficient reliability of the technique.
