Autonomous unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) are critical to current and future military, civil,
and commercial operations. Despite their importance, no previous textbook has accessibly …

Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with navigation and video capabilities
can be used to perform target localization. Combining UAV state estimates with image data …

This paper derives the full equations of motion for relative navigation of air vehicles. An
extended Kalman filter is used for estimating the relative position and attitude of two air …

Target tracking is difficult for a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) equipped with a monocular-
vision sensor because the sensor cannot measure the range between aerial target and …

Inertial and vision sensors are considered essential nowadays in terms of navigation and
guidance measurements for autonomous aerial and ground vehicles. In this paper, the …

This paper implements several methods for performing vision-based formation flight control
of multiple aircraft in the presence of obstacles. No information is communicated between …

This paper presents a summary of a subset of the extensive vision‐based tracking methods
developed at Georgia Tech. The problem of a follower aircraft tracking an uncooperative …

Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles are expected to offer advancement in a variety of
applications including search & rescue, surveillance, patrolling, law enforcement, inspection …

This paper presents an adaptive disturbance rejection control architecture for a flying vehicle
to track a maneuvering target using a monocular camera as a visual sensor. Viewing the …

This paper presents an acceleration-command generation and its implementation for an
aerial vehicle in the problem of visual target tracking, when the target is free to make any …
