Coordinated Vision-Based Tracking by Multiple Unmanned Vehicles

Vision-Based Leader Vehicle Trajectory Tracking for Multiple Agricultural Vehicles

The aim of this study was to design a navigation system composed of a human-controlled leader vehicle and a follower vehicle. The follower vehicle automatically tracks the leader vehicle. With such a system, a human driver can control two vehicles efficiently in agricultural operations. The tracking system was developed for the leader and the follower vehicle, and control of the follower was pe...

Vision Based Tracking for Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

This project aims at a system for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) following moving targets on ground. The UAV has physical constraints on airspeed and maneuverability. The target however can move freely and in any general pattern. We assume minimum knowledge about the target while navigating the aircraft. The system includes visual tracking of the target with a camera mounted on the UAV. The c...

A Nonlinear Vision Based Tracking System for Coordinated Control of Marine Vehicles

A nonlinear vision based tracking system is developed to provide estimates of the position and velocity of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) relative to an Autonomous Surface Craft (ASC). Nonlinear estimator design builds on the theory of linear parametrically varying (LPV) systems. The theoretical framework adopted provides a powerful tool for estimator regional stability and performance ...
