Sensor fusion of a camera and 2D LIDAR for lane detection and tracking Yeniaydın, Yasin; Schmidt, Klaus Verner; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) This thesis proposes a novel lane detection and tracking algorithm based on sensor fusion of a camera and 2D LIDAR. The proposed method is based on the top down view of a grayscale image, whose lane pixels are enhanced by the convolution with a 1D top-hat kernel. The convolved image is horizontally divided into a predetermined number of regions and the histogram of each region is computed. Next, the highest valued local maxima in a predefined ratio in the histogram plots are determined as candidate lane pix...
Analysis of vision aided inertial navigation systems Yuksel, Yigiter; Kaygisiz, H. Burak (2006-04-19) We propose in this paper a method to integrate inertial navigation systems with electro optic imaging devices. Our method is based on updating the inertial navigation system in a Kalman filter structure using line of sight measurements obtained from a camera. The proposed method is analyzed based on a UAV scenario generated by our trajectory simulator and the results are provided here. The results show that even a single vision aid can improve the performance of inertial navigation system.
Deep convolutional neural networks for airport detection in remote sensing images Budak, Umit; Sengur, Abdulkadir; Halıcı, Uğur (2018-05-05) This study investigated the use of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in providing a solution for the problem of airport detection in remote sensing images (RSIs). In recent years, Deep CNNs have gained much attention with numerous applications having been undertaken in the area of computer vision. Researchers generally approach airport detection as a pattern recognition problem, in which first various distinctive features are extracted, and then a classifier is adopted to detect airports. CNNs not o...
Vision-Based Detection and Distance Estimation of Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Gökçe, Fatih; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Şahin, Erol; Kalkan, Sinan (MDPI, ST ALBAN-ANLAGE 66, CH-4052 BASEL, SWITZERLAND, 2015-9) Detection and distance estimation of micro unmanned aerial vehicles (mUAVs) is crucial for (i) the detection of intruder mUAVs in protected environments; (ii) sense and avoid purposes on mUAVs or on other aerial vehicles and (iii) multi-mUAV control scenarios, such as environmental monitoring, surveillance and exploration. In this article, we evaluate vision algorithms as alternatives for detection and distance estimation of mUAVs, since other sensing modalities entail certain limitations on the environment...
Vision-aided landing for fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle Esin, Engin; Kutay, Ali Türker; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2016) The aim of this thesis is to design an autoland system for fixed wing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to make auto landing by using position information calculated by image processing algorithms. With this ability, even if GPS is not available to be used, UAV still could make a safe automatic landing. Landing autopilot is aimed to keep UAV on a straight line with a constant flight path angle. Therefore, landing autopilot and computer vision methods are studied within the scope of this thesis. Also, to test de...
