—In this paper, we address the design of an autopilot for autonomous landing of a helicopter on a rocking ship, due to rough sea. The deck is modeled to have a sinusoidal motion....
We present a vision-based algorithm designed to enable an autonomous helicopter to land on a moving target. The helicopter is required to identify a target, track it, and land on ...
— We present the design of an optimal trajectory controller for landing a helicopter on a moving target. The trajectory planner is based on the Variational Hamiltonian and Euler-...
This paper presents a method for obtaining accurate dense elevation and appearance models of terrain using a single camera on-board an aerial platform. Applications of this method...
