Abstract
This paper presents an implementation of a system that is autonomously able to find, follow and land on a car moving at 15 km/h. Our solution consists of two parts, the image processing for fast onboard detection of landing platform and the Model Predictive Control tracker for trajectory planning and control. This approach is fully autonomous using only the onboard computer and onboard sensors with differential GPS. Besides the description of the solution, we also present experimental results obtained at MBZIRC 2017 international competition.Keywords
