Drogue Tracking Using 3D Flash LIDAR for Autonomous Aerial Refueling
Autonomous aerial refueling (AAR) is an important capability for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to increase its flying range and endurance without increasing its size. This paper presents a novel tracking method that utilizes both 2D intensity and 3D point-cloud data acquired with a 3D Flash LIDAR sensor to establish relative position and orientation between the receiver vehicle and drogue du...
متن کاملRobust Trajectory Tracking Controller for Vision Based Probe and Drogue Autonomous Aerial Refueling
This paper addresses autonomous aerial refueling between an unmanned tanker aircraft and an unmanned receiver aircraft using the probe-and-drogue method. An important consideration is the ability to achieve successful docking in the presence of exogenous inputs such as atmospheric turbulence. Practical probe and drogue autonomous aerial refueling requires a reliable sensor capable of providing ...
متن کاملTrajectory Tracking Controller for Vision-Based Probe and Drogue Autonomous Aerial Refueling
Practical autonomous aerial refueling between unmanned tanker and receiver aircraft using the probe-anddrogue method requires a reliable relative position sensor integrated with a robust relative navigation and control algorithm. The system must provide successful docking in the presence of disturbances caused by both the tanker wake vortex and atmospheric turbulence. This paper develops a refe...

متن کاملReal-Time Object Detection for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles based on Cloud-based Convolutional Neural Networks
Real-time object detection is crucial for many applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) such as reconnaissance and surveillance, search-and-rescue, and infrastructure inspection. In the last few years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have emerged as a powerful class of models for recognizing image content, and are widely considered in the computer vision community to be the de facto...
