An Autonomous Landing Simulation System for UAV Tracking Mobile Carriers Based on Visual Servo

Abstract

With the development of information technology, the fields of aerospace, electronic information, navigation and positioning are constantly developing in the direction of intelligence. The UAV, as an important part of modern military equipment, has been rapidly developed and widely used, but currently UAVs are flying according to the way the vehicle is designed to be structured. However, with the development of technology, the way in which vehicle structures used to be designed, manufactured and assembled has changed considerably and is also playing an increasingly important role in different fields. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the design of a simulation system for UAV tracking and autonomous landing based on visual servoing. This paper addresses the shortcomings of the current UAV autonomous landing simulation technology and proposes a visual servo-based UAV tracking mobile carrier autonomous landing simulation system, which carries out motion simulation calculations such as motion trajectory measurement at the landing point and autonomous landing through the mobile carrier carried by the UAV autonomously. The simulation system does not affect the aircraft landing process, but also provides a new idea and method for the study of the autonomous landing mechanism of mobile carriers. The simulation system mainly consists of three basic structures: the UAV body, the mobile carrier and the visual servo; the simulation system mainly completes the autonomous landing process of the UAV carrier through two control methods: one is real-time motion control; the other is the tracking path parameter optimisation algorithm; the target attitude information is obtained for the landing simulation calculation under the two control methods. The system will provide a new way of thinking and a new method for the research of the UAV autonomous landing mechanism.
