During last decade the scientific research on Unmanned Aerial Vehicless (UAVs) increased
spectacularly and led to the design of multiple types of aerial platforms. The major challenge …

Visual object tracking (VOT) is an important subfield of computer vision. It has widespread
application domains, and has been considered as an important part of surveillance and …

In this paper a vision-based approach for guidance and safe landing of an Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle (UAV) is proposed. The UAV is required to navigate from an initial to a final position …

Landing an aerial vehicle is a very challenging problem. Pilots spend numerous hours
practicing touchdowns because of the risk involved during landing phase. Develo** …

This paper presents a review of the state of the art and a discussion on vertical take-off and
landing (VTOL) unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) applied to the inspection of power utility …

This paper is motivated by the real world problem of search and rescue by unmanned aerial
vehicles (UAVs). We consider the problem of tracking a static target from a bird's-eye view …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to propose that the three‐dimensional information of
obstacles should be identified to allow unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to detect and avoid …

A novel visual object tracking scheme is proposed by using joint point feature
correspondences and object appearance similarity. For point feature-based tracking, we …

In this paper, we apply a hierarchical tracking strategy of planar objects (or that can be
assumed to be planar) that is based on direct methods for vision-based applications on …

Vision-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) control is a core technology in global
positioning system (GPS)-denied environments. However, small UAVs have difficulty …
