3D Vision Based Landing Control of a Small Scale Autonomous Helicopter
Autonomous landing is a challenging but important task for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) to achieve high level of autonomy. The fundamental requirement for landing is the knowledge of the height above the ground, and a properly designed controller to govern the process. This paper presents our research results in the study of landing an autonomous helicopter. The above‐the‐ground hei...
متن کاملProgress in Mini-helicopter Tracking with a 3d Laser Range-finder
This paper approaches detection and tracking of an aero-modelling helicopter with a laser range-finder. The sensing device can complement vision for aerial vehicle control in operations such as landing or taking off from the ground. To this end, a conventional 2D laser scanner has been adapted for 3D operation by means of a motorized base. First experimental results are presented for a small-sc...
متن کاملTowards vision-based safe landing for an autonomous helicopter
Autonomous landing is a challenging problem for aerial robots. An autonomous landing manoeuver depends largely on two capabilities: the decision of where to land and the generation of control signals to guide the vehicle to a safe landing. We focus on the rst capability here by presenting a strategy and an underlying fast algorithm as the computer vision basis to make a safe landing decision. T...
متن کاملField-Testing of a Helicopter UAV Obstacle Field Navigation and Landing System
Flight test results and lessons learned are presented for a helicopter UAV low-altitude navigation and landing system. Results are given for both urban and natural settings. The navigation component uses a quasi-3D A* approach to route planning that enables maneuver through complex terrain using real-time sensor data. The landing component performs landings to sites that it determines to be saf...
متن کاملAutonomous Landing of an Unmanned Helicopter based on Vision and Inertial Sensing
In this paper, we propose an autonomous precision landing method for an unmanned helicopter based on an on-board visual navigation system consisting of a single pan-tilting camera, off-the-shelf computer hardware and inertial sensors. Compared to existing methods, the system doesn’t depend on additional sensors (in particular not on GPS), offers a wide envelope of starting points for the autono...
