contents This paper explores the use of applying a deep learning approach for 3D object detection to compute the relative position of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) from an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) equipped with a LiDAR sensor in a GPS-denied environment. This was achieved by evaluating the LiDAR sensor's data through a 3D detection algorithm (PointPillars). The PointPillars algorithm incorporates a column voxel point-cloud representation and a 2D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to generate distinctive point-cloud features representing the object to be identified, in this case, the UAV. The current localization method utilizes point-cloud segmentation, Euclidean clustering, and predefined heuristics to obtain the relative position of the UAV. Results from the two methods were then compared to a reference truth solution.
