Abstract

In the process of unmanned helicopter autonomous landing, the visual navigation system gets the position and attitude information of the unmanned helicopter relative to the ship with the target identification on the ship deck, providing the information for the design of the flight control system, which ensures the accuracy and safety during its landing. The specific target identification was designed first. Then the visual system acquired images and processed the images, which could eliminate the noise extraction boundary to obtain the useful information in the images. After that, use the Hough transform to extract the straight lines in the target images. The position and attitude estimation method is proposed based on geometric relations between the straight lines in the target identification on the deck and in the images acquired by the camera. Finally, the validity of the proposed algorithm was verified by tests.
