متن کاملVision 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...
