Optic Flow-Based Control and Navigation of Mini Aerial Vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper concerns recent work on the application of optic flow for control and navigation of small unmanned aerial vehicles. Bio-inspired strategies, such as the use of optic flow, have always motivated researchers in the control community. Recent methodologies for active and passive navigation of aerial vehicles using optic flow, such as obstacle detection or terrain following, are presented. Applications to path following that have been achieved at Heudiasyc Laboratory (CNRS-UTC) in Compiègne are described, in order to illustrate the strength of the concept.

متن کاملVision-based navigation through urban canyons
We address the problem of navigating unmanned vehicles safely through urban canyons in two dimensions using only vision-based techniques. Two commonly used vision-based obstacle avoidance techniques (namely stereo vision and optic flow) are implemented on an aerial and a ground-based robotic platform and evaluated for urban canyon navigation. Optic flow is evaluated for its ability to produce a...
