This paper focuses on position estimation of a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) using monocular camera. Features from Accelerated Segment Test (FAST) descriptors are used as matched pattern to estimate differential change in position of the UAV. Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (V-SLAM) is a probabilistic filter based method and a pr...

In UAV-based human detection, the extraction and selection of the feature vector are one of the critical tasks to ensure the optimal performance of the detection system. Although UAV cameras capture high-resolution images, human figures' relative size renders persons at very low resolution and contrast. Feature descriptors that can adequately discr...
The available stereo matching algorithms produce large number of false positive matches or only produce a few true-positives across oblique stereo images with large baseline. This undesired result happens due to the complex perspective deformation and radiometric distortion across the images. To address this problem, we propose a novel affine invar...
Accurate localization is the foundation of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) swarm applications in the global navigation satellite system (GNSS)-denied environment. However, the implementation of UAV formation in the real world is costly and time-consuming, which leads to difficulties in developing navigation algorithms. A real-time simulator for navig...
The goal of unmanned aerial vehicle(UVA) image mosaicking is to create natural-looking mosaics without artifacts due to the parallax of the image and relative camera motion. UAV remote sensing is a low-altitude technology and the UAV imaged scene is not effectively planar, yielding parallax on the images. Moreover, when an object in three dimension...
Nowadays, the digital development of marine ranching requires a communication system with wide coverage, high transmission rate and stable communication links. It is known that fixed‐wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have great advantages in long‐range applications. They have the potential to serve as low‐altitude communication platforms for mar...
