Automating Human Thought Processes for a UAV Forced Landing
This paper describes the current status of a program to develop an automated forced landing system for a fixed-wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). This automated system seeks to emulate human pilot thought processes when planning for and conducting an engine-off emergency landing. Firstly, a path planning algorithm that extends Dubins curves to 3D space is presented. This planning element is th...
متن کاملA Vision Based Emergency Forced Landing System for an Autonomous UAV
This paper introduces the forced landing problem for UAVs and presents the machine-vision based approach taken for this research. The forced landing problem, is a new field of research for UAVs and this paper will show the preliminary analysis to date. The results are based on video data collected from a series of flight trials in a Cessna 172. The aim of this research is to locate " safe " lan...
متن کاملUAV Quadcopter Landing on a Displaced Target
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are becoming more popular each year, and the applications they can be used for continue to grow as well. One issue faced by UAV quadcopters at the moment is autonomously landing accurately at a home base location that may have changed from its starting position. The solution proposed to this problem is using a GPS signal that gives the quadcopter the approximate ...
متن کاملAutonomous Landing for a Multirotor UAV Using Vision
We describe our work on multirotor UAVs and focus on our method for autonomous landing. The paper describes the design of our landing pad and its advantages. We explain how the landing pad detection algorithm works and how the 3D-position of the UAV relative to the landing pad is calculated. Practical experiments prove the quality of these estimations.
متن کاملSelecting the Visual Landing Markers Located on a Ship Deck for UAV Automatic Landing
Of all the flight modes of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), the landing approach and the landing itself are the most difficult and dangerous ones. To perform an automatic landing on a ship deck using a computer vision system (CVS), a UAV must analyze the visual landing markers located on the deck. When the UAV is about to start landing, these markers must be clearly visible and discernible. The...
