نویسنده

  • Brenda Huettner
چکیده

This paper is an academic experience report describing analysis of optimal control techniques for simulated quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) performing search and rescue missions. Analysis of the controller and guidance laws governing the UAV are described in detail culminating in a closed form expression describing the probability of detection over a certain field.

Target detection Bridge Modelling using Point Cloud Segmentation Obtained from Photogrameric UAV

In recent years, great efforts have been made to generate 3D models of urban structures in photogrammetry and remote sensing. 3D reconstruction of the bridge, as one of the most important urban structures in transportation systems, has been neglected because of its geometric and structural complexity. Due to the UAV technology development in spatial data acquisition, in this study, the point cl...

Quadrotor UAV Guidence For Ground Moving Target Tracking

The studies in aerial vehicles modeling and control have been increased rapidly recently. In this paper , a coordination of two types of heterogeneous robots , namely unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is considered. In this paper the UAV plays the role of a virtual leader for the UGVs. The system consists of a vision- based target detection algorithm that uses the ...

An Automatic UAV Search, Intercept, and Follow Algorithm for Persistent Surveillance

Substantial research has addressed the problems of automatic search, routing, and sensor tasking for UAVs, producing many good algorithms for each task. But UAV surveillance missions typically include combinations of these tasks, so an algorithm that can manage and control UAVs through multiple tasks is desired. The algorithm in this paper employs a cooperative graph-based search when target st...

UAV based search for a radio tagged animal using particle filters

Radio animal tracking is usually carried out by surveying with an antenna and receiver. The researcher can determine the position of the animal by rotating the directional antenna and listening to the signal strength while walking around. Radio tags for animals have to be quite small with low weight and therefore have limited signal power resulting in a short range. This procedure could be tedi...

Decentralized Control of Multi-UAVs for Target Search, Tasking and Tracking

This paper considers integrated target search, tasking and tracking using multiple fixed-wing UAVs in urban environments. The problem is to design autonomy for each individual UAV autonomous and distributed tasking. Control logic design based on finite state automaton (FSA) model, integrating the four modes of operations, i.e., takeoff mode, fly-to-AO (area of operation) mode, search mode and t...
