Journal ArticleDOI
A UAV for bridge inspection: Visual servoing control law with orientation limits
Najib Metni,Tarek Hamel +1 more
TL;DR: A novel control law based on computer vision for quasi-stationary flights above a planar target is presented, which uses the homography matrix computed from the information obtained from the vision system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Attitude and gyro bias estimation for a VTOL UAV
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear complementary filter (x-estimator) is presented to estimate the attitude of a vertical take off and landing unmanned aerial vehicle (VTOL UAV).
Journal Article
Visual Tracking Control of Aerial Robotic Systems with Adaptive Depth Estimation
Najib Metni,Tarek Hamel +1 more
TL;DR: This paper describes a visual tracking control law of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for monitoring of structures and maintenance of bridges and presents a control law based on computer vision for quasi-stationary flights above a planar target.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Attitude and gyro bias estimation for a flying UAV
TL;DR: A nonlinear complimentary filter (x-estimator) is presented to estimate the attitude of a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle), it uses the fact that the orientation matrix, evolving on SO(3), is not locally parameterized and thus could be used to describe any kind of 3D motion.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Visual Tracking Control of Aerial Robotic Systems with Adaptive Depth Estimation
Najib Metni,Tarek Hamel,F. Derkx +2 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a visual tracking control law of an UAV for monitoring of structures and maintenance of bridges is presented for quasi-stationary flights above a planar target, where the first part of the UAV navigation is the navigation from an initial position to a final position to define a desired trajectory in an unknown 3D environment.
