Nonlinear Geometric and Differential Geometric Guidance of UAVs for Reactive Collision Avoidance
Local collision avoidance is an important problem that must be solved for safe autonomous flight of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). In order to successfully find a solution to this problem, an elaborate literature survey has been conducted. This survey of literature led to a fairly thorough understanding of the state-of-art techniques in the areas of path planning and collision avoidance of UA...
متن کاملA Vision System for Optic-flow-based Guidance of UAVs
There is considerable interest in designing guidance systems for UAVs that use passive sensing (such as vision), rather than active sensing which can be bulky, expensive and stealth-compromising. Here we describe and evaluate a sensor that uses optic flow for measurement and control of height above the ground. A video camera is used in conjunction with a specially shaped reflective surface to s...
متن کاملVision-Based Obstacle Avoidance for UAVs
This paper describes a vision-based navigation and guidance design for UAVs for a combined mission of waypoint tracking and collision avoidance with unforeseen obstacles using a single 2-D passive vision sensor. An extended Kalman filter (EKF) is applied to estimate a relative position of obstacles from vision-based measurements. The stochastic z-test value is used to solve a correspondence pro...
متن کاملAdaptive Evolutionary Search Algorithm with Obstacle Avoidance for Multiple Uavs
Unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) can be used for surveillance and searching, usually with a specified goal i.e. a given area to search or, person or object to find. In these cases, multiple UAVs can be more effective for searching than a single vehicle due to the greater area of coverage that they offer. This paper outlines a search methodology, based on evolutionary algorithms (EAs), which guides ...
متن کاملAgent-Environment Interaction in Visual Homing
This study illustrates how obstacle avoidance can emerge from a visual homing strategy, caused by the intrinsic geometric structure of the environment. An example is shown where an agent performs visual homing in a virtual environment with several obstacles which also serve as visual landmarks. The agent has omnidirectional vision similar to many prey animals. The applied visual homing strategy...
