Visual Track System Applied in Quadrotor Aerial Robot

摘要

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) had developed for many years, with quad-rotor vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicle developing fastest. The equations of its flight attitude have been derived and verified by some scholars. Up to now, the quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle has already become one of the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) that can fly stably. Today, when the robot technology is booming, various sensors and intelligent functions that applied in robots can be transferred and applied to the quad-rotor unmanned aerial robot. It will make the quad-rotor unmanned aerial robot not an ordinary UAV any longer, but an intelligent robot that can fly. In this research, the image processing technique had been integrated with the quad-rotor aerial robot. The aerial robot cannot receive the GPS signal for positioning in an indoor environment. With the image processing technique, the quadcopter can hover around a fixed position or visual track a moving object in an indoor environment.
