Monocular Visual Mapping for Obstacle Avoidance on UAVs
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-01)
An unmanned aerial vehicle requires adequate knowledge of its surroundings in order to operate in close proximity to obstacles. UAVs also have strict payload and power constraints which limit the number and variety of ...
Approaches to Vision-Based Formation Control
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2004-12)
This paper implements several methods for
performing vision-based formation flight control of multiple
aircraft in the presence of obstacles. No information is
communicated between aircraft, and only passive 2-D ...
Flight Testing of Nap of-the-Earth Unmanned Helicopter Systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-05)
This paper describes recent results from a partnership between the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and the
Georgia Institute of Technology to develop, improve, and flight test a sensor, guidance, navigation, control, ...
3D Obstacle Avoidance in Adversarial Environments for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2006-08)
As unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are considered for a wider variety of military and
commercial applications, the ability to navigate autonomously in unknown and hazardous
environments is increasingly vital to the ...
High Performance Nap-of-the-Earth Unmanned Helicopter Flight
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011)
This paper describes recent results from a partnership between the Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation and the
Georgia Institute of Technology to develop, improve, and flight test a sensor, guidance, navigation, control,
and ...
3D Obstacle Detection Using a Single Camera
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2009-08)
This paper aims at detecting obstacles using a single camera in an unknown
three dimensional world, for 3D motion of an unmanned air vehicle. Obstacle
detection is a pre-requisite for collision-free motion of a UAV through ...
Monocular Visual Mapping for Obstacle Avoidance on UAVs
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2013-05)
An unmanned aerial vehicle requires adequate knowledge of its surroundings in order to operate in close proximity to obstacles. UAVs also have strict
payload and power constraints which limit the number and variety of ...
Benchmarking of UAV Guidance Systems in Nap of the Earth (NOE) Flight
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-05)
This paper describes the development of a proposed framework of metrics for the evaluation of the performance of aircraft guidance systems. The methodologies and metrics developed remain generally agnostic to whether or ...
