title = "Terrain-following paradigm employing laser-range-finders and preview control",
abstract = "Performance and complexity of terrain-following systems depend predominantly on the chosen sensors as well as the employed path planning and guidance algorithms. This paper addresses the design and performance analysis for a preview-control laser-range-finder based terrain-following paradigm for unmanned fixed-wing aerial vehicles. The various error factors are discussed and the error propagation through the system is analyzed. The resulting error model is first verified using a realistic numerical simulation. The analytical model is then utilized to quantify the system tracking error, outline the preferred values for various system parameters in order to achieve higher terrain following performance, and suggest the optimal installation angle for the laser range finders. The derived analysis method grants an effective analytical method for gauging the terrain following performance for the proposed system.",
