Abstract

The paper deals with the software structure of the unmanned aerial vehicle flight simulator stand. Algorithmic support of each module is presented. Approaches to quality control of the visual navigation system are considered. The focus is on the methodology for assessing the quality of visual navigation systems, and their configuration. The article defines sets of global and local parameters of the imitation stand. The module for digitizing a terrestrial map is also considered in detail. A method for estimating errors in the operation of a visual navigation system is proposed. Using this software architecture allows creating a unmanned aerial vehicle flight simulator for checking and adjusting visual navigation systems, as well as developing a new, more advanced system.
