— Image gradient-based feature detectors offer great advantages over their standard edge-only equivalents. In driver support systems research, the radial symmetry detection algor...
— To close the loop between motion and vision, tracked visual features must remain in the camera field of view (visibility constraint). To overcome the visibility constraint, vi...

— We seek to develop vision-based autonomy for small-scale aircraft known as Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). Development of such autonomy presents signiÞcant challenges, in no small ...

Abstract— We aim at developing autonomous microflyers capable of navigating within houses or small built environments. The severe weight and energy constraints of indoor flying...
— We present an outdoor terrain planner that finds near optimal trajectories under dynamic and kinematic constraints. The planner can find solutions in close to real time by re...
– A vision-based obstacle detection system for small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is presented. Obstacles are detected by segmenting the image into sky and non-sky regions and...
