We present the vision-based estimation and control of a quadrotor vehicle using a single camera relative to a novel target that incorporates the use of moiré patterns. The objective is to acquire the six degree of freedom estimation that is essential for the operation of vehicles in close proximity to other craft and landing platforms. A target contains markers to determine its relative orientation and locate two sets of orthogonal moiré patterns at two different frequencies. A camera is mounted on the vehicle with the target in the field of view. An algorithm processes the images, extracting the attitude and position information of the camera relative to the target utilizing geometry and four single-point discrete Fourier transforms on the moiré patterns. The position and yaw estimations with accompanying control techniques have been implemented on a remote-controlled quadrotor. The flight tests conducted prove the system's feasibility as an option for precise relative navigation for indoor and outdoor operations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
