Computer Vision Onboard UAVs for Civilian Tasks
Computer vision is much more than a technique to sense and recover environmental information from an UAV. It should play a main role regarding UAVs’ functionality because of the big amount of information that can be extracted, its possible uses and applications, and its natural connection to human driven tasks, taking into account that vision is our main interface to world understanding. Our cu...
متن کاملFast Onboard Stereo Vision for UAVs
In the last decade researchers have built incredible new capabilities for small aircraft, with quadrotors moving from labs to toy stores and with autonomy reaching smaller and smaller vehicles. As the systems, and their payload capacities shrink, we can no longer use typical aircraft sensors such as RADAR, scanning LIDAR, and other active sensing methods for obstacle detection and avoidance. Sm...
متن کاملComputer-Vision Based Collision Avoidance for UAVs
This research is investigating the feasibility of using computer vision to provide robust sensing capabilities suitable for the purpose of UAV collision avoidance. Presented in this paper is a preliminary strategy for detecting collision-course aircraft from image sequences and a discussion on its performance in processing a real-life data set. Initial trials were conducted on image streams fea...
متن کاملVector Quantization Enhancement for Computer Vision Tasks
This paper augments the Bag-of-Word scheme in several respects: we incorporate a category label into the clustering process, build classifier-tailored codebooks, and weight codewords according to their probability to occur. A size-adaptive feature clustering algorithm is also proposed as an alternative to k-means. Experiments on the PASCAL VOC 2007 challenge validate the approach for classical ...
متن کاملVision-Based Obstacle Avoidance for UAVs
This paper describes a vision-based navigation and guidance design for UAVs for a combined mission of waypoint tracking and collision avoidance with unforeseen obstacles using a single 2-D passive vision sensor. An extended Kalman filter (EKF) is applied to estimate a relative position of obstacles from vision-based measurements. The stochastic z-test value is used to solve a correspondence pro...
