Horizon Angle from Video
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article details the work of the authors towards the goal of using video processing for autonomous flight control of small unmanned aircraft (UAVs). The work reports on procedures that were designed by the authors to determine the roll of an aircraft from video imagery of the horizon, using video and computing equipment small and light enough to be carried by the aircraft. Theory and results of tests using simulated horizon views are given and discussed. Preliminary results from real flights are also given and discussed.

متن کاملEstimating Solar Radiation and Developing Iran’s Atlas Map of Optimum Monthly Tilt Angle (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Iran has great potential in utilizing solar energy. In order to maximize the amount of absorbed solar radiation to absorber surfaces, the surfaces should be installed at a suitable angle slope to the horizon that is discussed in this article. The calculations performed in this study was done using MATLAB software. In this study, radiation received on the ground in 31 provincial capitals of the ...
متن کاملAircraft Approach Angle Estimation: Vision Based Landing
In the past decade, there have been great advancements in the application of computer vision to UAV's and associated aerial visual surveillance. For example, [6] demonstrated how a high precision ego-motion estimate of a camera can be incorporated to achieve video annotations and insertion to reference imagery. An algorithm for estimating the approach angle of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) i...
متن کاملEndoscopic Orientation Correction
An open problem in endoscopic surgery (especially with flexible endoscopes) is the absence of a stable horizon in endoscopic images. With our "Endorientation" approach image rotation correction, even in non-rigid endoscopic surgery (particularly NOTES), can be realized with a tiny MEMS tri-axial inertial sensor placed on the tip of an endoscope. It measures the impact of gravity on each of the ...
