Abstract: This article introduces a comparative analysis of a quadrotor UAV trajectories evaluated by processing onboard sensors (camera and IMU) with ROS-based monocular visual odometry software. Parrot Bebop drone was launched outdoor within teleoperated closed-loop trajectory along a known perimeter of a square work area, recording sensor's telemetry data for offline processing. We compared UAV monocular SLAM trajectories with Bebop visual-inertial odometry and verified them with the ground truth estimated by an external observer (a hovering quadcopter DJI Mavic, flying at the height of 40m with a camera pointing downwards and tracking near-surface Bebop's flight).
