This paper describes a vision-based navigation and guidance design for UAVs for a
combined mission of waypoint tracking and collision avoidance with unforeseen obstacles …

This paper implements several methods for performing vision-based formation flight control
of multiple aircraft in the presence of obstacles. No information is communicated between …

THE problem of leader–follower formation flight in which the follower aircraft is equipped
with only an onboard camera to track the leader aircraft is quite challenging. This problem …

This paper presents a summary of a subset of the extensive vision‐based tracking methods
developed at Georgia Tech. The problem of a follower aircraft tracking an uncooperative …

This paper considers the problem of fault detection and identification (FDI) in applications
carried out by a group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with visual cameras. In many …

The objective of this thesis is to design a relative navigation and guidance law for unmanned
aerial vehicles, or UAVs, for vision-based control applications. The autonomous operation of …

This paper describes an optimal guidance policy for a vehicle to reach a relative position to
a target, using information from a single fixed camera. Applying an extended Kalman filtering …

A VARIETY of studies on multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been conducted,
particularly in the case of formation flights. For the guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) …

A rotorcraft UAV provides an ideal experimental platform for vision-based navigation. This
paper describes the flight tests of the US Army PALACE project, which implements …

As demonstrated in recent conflicts, UAVs are becoming an important component of our
military force structure. UAVs, operating in close proximity to enemy forces, provide real-time …
