This paper describes the tracking guidance for the autonomous UAV landing and the vision-based detection of the marker on the moving vehicle with the real-time image processing system. The detection of the marker is based on the color detection algorithm with morphological filter and the tracking guidance is based on the relative distance between the UAV and the vehicle. In order to track and land...
A cooperative track-before-detect algorithm for multiple ground targets is presented for fixed-wing Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) with a finite field of view. The road network forms a graph whose nodes indicate the target likelihood ratio. Target observations are assimilated by a Bayesian likelihood ratio tracker in which likelihood diffuses according to the graph Laplacian of the road network. Using...
In this paper, we present two novel guidance laws for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a fixed camera to track a mobile ground target. The system dynamics is established in the level local coordinate frame, removing the need of converting the target location information to the global inertial frame. The first guidance law is developed using backstepping technique requiring the estimation...
A decentralized controller for target tracking and obstacle avoidance for a multi-agent system is proposed. The controller is based on a navigation function which is composed of a goal function, as the D-optimality criterion of the Fisher information matrix, and a constraint function, which generates repulsive force to the agents near the obstacle. The multi-agent system is modeled as a graph and...
