Flyphone: Visual Self-Localisation Using a Mobile Phone as Onboard Image Processor on a Quadrocopter
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) needs to orient itself in its operating environment to fly autonomously. Localisation methods based on visual data are independent of erroneous GPS measurements or imprecise inertial sensors. In our approach, a quadrocopter first etablishes an image database of the environment. Afterwards, the quadrocopter is able to locate itself by comparing a current image ta...
متن کاملAerial Localization with Smartphone
This paper presents how we applied a smartphone for aerial localization. We have developed a fully functional aerial localization system HAWK and reported preliminary results in a related paper. In this paper, we focus on the technical details of using a smartphone Nokia N900 as a wireless sniffer on a mini helicopter and comparing the performance of three localization approaches for wireless d...

These top-end phones include various sensors (e.g., accelerometer, proximity sensor, GPS, camera, microphone), radios (e.g., Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular), operating systems (e.g., Symbian, customized Mac OS X), and processors (e.g., 330 Mhz ARM, 412 Mh...
متن کاملAerial Photography Techniques to Estimate Populations of Laughing Gull Nests in Jamaica Bay, New York, 1992-1995
-We evaluated aerial photography (full coverage, using fixed-wing aircraft) and aerial video (transects, using helicopter) surveys to estimate the population of Laughing Gull (Larus ahicilla) nests in Jamaica Bay, NewYork, during June 1992-1995. We counted 4,920 nests in the colony using aerial photography and estimated 5,367 nests using aerial video in 1992. In 1993-1995, we respectively count...
