Hello everyone!
We are trying to augment our existing large drone (quadcopter) system with a Trisonica-Mini Weather Sensor (or something similar), to collect high fidelity/resolution weather data. In particular wind speed and direction.
I’ve learned that you can get wind speed/direction estimation from the EKF (assuming it’s finely tuned with drag coefficients). But I was unable to find any resources showing how I can test/measure the resolution or fidelity of wind estimations of any given EKF.
Since this wind data will be used for scientific purposes, I want to be able to quantify it’s accuracy. Which is why I’m leaning towards mounting an independent
weather station such that it’s isolated from the turbulent air created by the propellors, but I’m at a loss.
If anyone has expertise with collecting wind speed/direction with very high accuracy and precision on UAVs, I’d love to pick your brain! Any information helps!
