Deploying advanced Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping, or SLAM, algorithms in
autonomous low-power robotics will enable emerging new applications which require an …

We propose an obstacle avoidance system based on image segmentation of the obstacles
to be avoided in combination with a control policy for autonomous flight for which the MAV's …

Reconstruction and mapping of outdoor urban environment are critical to a large variety of
applications, ranging from large-scale city-level 3D content creation for augmented and …

The rapid development of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has helped expand their
practical use to many industrial applications. However, UAVs sometimes suffer from a flight …

We present a system for forest mapping from an autonomous UAV, flying below the tree
canopy. The UAV is equipped with four stereo cameras, which provide information for …

Stereo vision is an active research topic in computer vision. Point Grey® Bumblebee® and
digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR) are normally found in the stereo vision research …

The use of artificial vision in control loops as a feedback element or a reference signal for
the control of automation systems requires low latency. Several artificial vision system …

This paper presents an octo-rotor unmanned air vehicle (UAV) prototype and its vision
system used for nighttime visual infrastructure inspection. After developing a stereo vision …

This thesis presents the design, implementation and verification of a close quarters,
collisionprotected aerial drone. The ultimate goal of this work is to enable an unmanned …
