Vision System

Vision is one of the most important senses for the UAV as it provides for path planning, obstacle avoidance, visual tracking and target matching. Path planning and obstacle avoidance is done by the vision module of the UAV in conjunction with other sensors like SONAR, but for target matching (Image Recognition), the UAV is solely dependent on the vision system. A lot of emphasis is given on the vision system since it is required to have high robustness and reliability.

Vision is achieved by a camera, which takes in pictures and feeds them to a vision processing software. Thus after a picture has been analyzed the vehicle can take decisions on how to maneuver and perform further processing.

More details will be put up regarding the Vision System soon. For any specific enquiries, contact Pranav Kedia at pranavkedia AT gmail DOT com
