Fire Detection Algorithm for a Quad-rotor using Ego-motion Compensation

Detection of obstacles on runway using ego-motion compensation and tracking of significant features

This paper proposes a method for obstacle detection on a runway for autonomous navigation and landing of an aircraft. Detection is done in presence of extraneous features such as tire-marks. Suitable features are extracted from the image and warping using approximately known camera and plane parameters is performed in order to compensate ego-motion as far as possible. Residual disparity after w...

Adaptive Tracking Control for a Quad-rotor

This paper illustrates the application of an adaptive flight control architecture to a scale quad-rotor. For autonomous VTOL (Vertical Takeoff and Landing) flight, it is common to separate the control problem into an inner fast loop that controls attitude and an outer slow loop that controls the trajectory of the VTOL. In this paper we augment a conventional PD controller conceived mainly for h...

Quad-pixel edge detection using neural network

One of the most fundamental features of digital image and the basic steps in image processing, analysis, pattern recognition and computer vision is the edge of an image where the preciseness and reliability of its results will affect directly on the comprehension machine system made objective world. Several edge detectors have been developed in the past decades, although no single edge detector...
