一种基于单目视觉的无人机室内定位方法

目前,无人机定位技术主要依赖以GPS(Global Positioning System)为代表的全球定位系统,然而在室内等GPS信号缺失的地方进行定位则比较困难.另外,传统的室内定位技术主要采用蓝牙、WiFi、基站定位等多种方式融合成一套定位体系,但是该类方法受环境的影响比较大,而且往往需要部署多个设备.此外,这种方...

Indoor Localization of UAV Using Monocular Vision

At present, Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) positioning technology relies mainly on the represented Global Positioning System (GPS). However, it is difficult to locate where GPS signals are missing in the room. On the other hand, the traditional indoor positioning technology uses mainly Bluetooth, WiFi, base station positioning and other methods to merge into a set of positioning system. However, this kind of methods are often affected by the environment, and they needs often to deploy multiple devices. In addition, they can only get far and near information, and can not know the device's posture in space. In this paper, an UAV indoor positioning system is proposed based on monocular vision. Firstly, the image taken by the camera is used, and combined with the feature point method and the direct method, to track the feature points first, then the direct method is used to match the features according to the key points, and then the camera position and posture are estimated. Then, the depth filter is used to estimate the 3D depth of feature points, and a sparse map in the current environment is established. Finally, the real environment is simulated using the three-dimensional visualization tool RVIZ of Robot Operating System (ROS). The simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve good performance in indoor environment, and the positioning accuracy reaches 0.04 m.
