Vision based hardware-software real-time control system for autonomous landing of an UAV
share
In this paper we present a vision based hardware-software control system enabling autonomous landing of a multirotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). It allows the detection of a marked landing pad in real-time for a 1280 x 720 @ 60 fps video stream. In addition, a LiDAR sensor is used to measure the altitude above ground. A heterogeneous Zynq SoC device is used as the computing platform. The solution was tested on a number of sequences and the landing pad was detected with 96 heterogeneous computing system is a good solution for UAVs because it enables real-time data stream processing with relatively low energy consumption.
