Omnidirectional vision for UAV: applications to attitude, motion and altitude estimation for day and night conditions
International audience; This paper presents the combined applications of omnidirectional vision featuring on its application to aerial robotics. Omnidirectional vision is first used to compute the attitude, altitude and motion not only in rural environment but also in the urban space. Secondly, a combination of omnidirectional and perspective cameras permits to estimate the altitude. Finally we present a stereo system consisting of an omnidirectional camera with a laser pattern projector enables to calculate the altitude and attitude during the improperly illuminated conditions to dark environments. We demonstrate that omnidirectional camera in conjunction with other sensors is suitable cho…
Estimation de mouvement d'un drone à partir d'un capteur stéréo hybride
Motion and velocity are two of the most important parameters to be known for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) especially during critical maneuvers such as landing or steady flight. In this paper, we present mixed stereoscopic vision system made of a fish-eye camera and a perspective camera for motion estimation. Contrary to classical stereoscopic systems based on feature matching between cameras, we propose an algorithm which tracks and exploits points in each camera independently. The omnidirectional view estimates the orientation of the motion while the perspective view contribute to estimate the scale of the translation and brings accuracy. By fusing points tracked in each camera and kno…
Real time UAV altitude, attitude and motion estimation from hybrid stereovision
International audience; Knowledge of altitude, attitude and motion is essential for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle during crit- ical maneuvers such as landing and take-off. In this paper we present a hybrid stereoscopic rig composed of a fisheye and a perspective camera for vision-based navigation. In contrast to classical stereoscopic systems based on feature matching, we propose methods which avoid matching between hybrid views. A plane-sweeping approach is proposed for estimating altitude and de- tecting the ground plane. Rotation and translation are then estimated by decoupling: the fisheye camera con- tributes to evaluating attitude, while the perspective camera contributes to estimating t…
