Nonlinear ego-motion estimation from optical flow for online control of a quadrotor UAV
For the control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in GPS-denied environments, cameras have been widely exploited as main sensory modality for addressing the UAV state estimation problem. However, the use of visual information for ego-motion estimation presents several theoretical and practical difficulties, such as data association, occlusions, and lack of direct metric information when exploi...
متن کاملRobust adaptive control of a quadrotor helicopter
This work presents a direct approximate-adaptive control, using CMAC nonlinear approximators, for an experimental prototype quadrotor helicopter. The method updates adaptive parameters, the CMAC weights, as to achieve both adaptation to unknown payloads and robustness to disturbances. Previously proposed weight-update methods, such as e-modification, provide robustness by simply limiting weight...
متن کاملQuadrotor Helicopter Trajectory Tracking Control
The Stanford Testbed of Autonomous Rotorcraft for Multi-Agent Control (STARMAC), a fleet of quadrotor helicopters, has been developed as a testbed for novel algorithms that enable autonomous operation of aerial vehicles. This paper develops an autonomous vehicle trajectory tracking algorithm through cluttered environments for the STARMAC platform. A system relying on a single optimization must ...
متن کاملPerception of translational heading from optical flow.
Radial patterns of optical flow produced by observer translation could be used to perceive the direction of self-movement during locomotion, and a number of formal analyses of such patterns have recently appeared. However, there is comparatively little empirical research on the perception of heading from optical flow, and what data there are indicate surprisingly poor performance, with heading ...
متن کاملPerception of circular heading from optical flow.
Observers viewed random-dot optical flow displays that simulated self-motion on a circular path and judged whether they would pass to the right or left of a target at 16 m. Two dots in two frames are theoretically sufficient to specify circular heading if the orientation of the rotation axis is known. Heading accuracies were better than 1.5 degrees with a ground surface, wall surface, and 3D cl...
