Vision-based Runway Recognition for UAV Autonomous Landing
نویسندگان
چکیده
To meet the request of recognizing the runway synchronously and precisely for the UAV during the autonomous landing, the paper presents a method for automatic recognizing airport runway based on the knowledge of vision. Making full use of the characteristics of the runway region and boundary, this method first gets the approximate region by projection, then obtains the boundary by fitting line to recognize the runway using an algorithm combined Hough transform with least square according to the boundary characteristic of the runway. The test results prove that this method can recognize the runway quickly and accurately.

Towards Autonomous UAV Landing Based on Infrared Beacons and Particle Filtering
Autonomous fixed-wing UAV landing based on differential GPS is now a mainstream providing reliable and precise landing. But the task still remains challenging when GPS aviability is limited like for military UAV’s. We discuss a solution of this problem based on computer vision and dot markings along stationary or makeshift runway. We focus our attempts on using infrared beacons along with narro...
متن کاملResearch on computer vision-based for UAV autonomous landing on a ship
In this paper, a novel approach to UAV’s automatic landing on the ship’s deck is proposed. We present the design of the cooperative object, and then begin our basic research on UAV autonomous landing on a ship by using computer vision and affine moment invariants. We analyze the infrared radiation images in our experiments by extracting the target from the background and then recognizing it. Al...
متن کاملA Vision-Based Guidance System for UAV Navigation and Safe Landing using Natural Landmarks
In this paper a vision-based approach for guidance and safe landing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is proposed. The UAV is required to navigate from an initial to a final position in a partially known environment. The guidance system allows a remote user to define target areas from a high resolution aerial or satellite image to determine either the waypoints of the navigation trajectory or...
متن کاملLanding on a Moving Target Using an Autonomous Helicopter
We present a vision-based algorithm designed to enable an autonomous helicopter to land on a moving target. The helicopter is required to identify a target, track it, and land on it while the target is in motion. We use Hu’s moments of inertia for precise target recognition and a Kalman filter for target tracking. Based on the output of the tracker a simple trajectory controller is implemented ...
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.
