    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for distributing a plurality of drones to form an aerial image. The systems and methods may include: receiving, at a computing device comprising a processor, location data and drone data; distributing, by the computing device, a plurality of drones based on the aspects of an aerial image such that, during flight, the plurality of drones form the aerial image; and exporting, by the computing device, coordinates for each of the plurality of drones. The location data may define aspects of the aerial image to be formed by the plurality of drones. The drone data may include a number of drones within the plurality of drones. The coordinate for each of the plurality of drones may define a location for a respective drone within the aerial image.

    Abstract: An unmanned aerial vehicle includes one or more magnetometers, configured to detect a magnetic field and to output magnetometer data corresponding to a magnitude of the detected magnetic field; a position sensor, configured to detect a position of the unmanned aerial vehicle relative to one or more reference points, and to output position sensor data representing the detected position; one or more processors, configured to control the unmanned aerial vehicle to rotate about its z-axis; receive magnetometer data comprising a plurality of z-axis directional measurements taken during the rotation about the z-axis; receive position sensor data and determine from at least the position sensor data a magnetic field inclination of the detected position; and determine a z-axis magnetometer correction value as a difference between the received magnetometer data for the z-axis and the determined magnetic field inclination.

    Abstract: A controller comprises a communication interface to receive an anchor localization dataset comprising a plurality of anchor range measurements and a processing circuitry to identify a qualified subset of anchor range measurements from the anchor localization dataset, wherein the anchor range measurements in the qualified subset are consistent, select a first anchor range measurement in the anchor localization dataset from outside the qualified subset of anchor range measurements, and add the first anchor range measurement to the qualified subset of anchor range measurements when the first anchor range measurement is consistent with the anchor range measurements in the qualified subset of anchor range measurements.
