1A1-F04 ChildrenWatching System Using a Small UAV : Position Estimation And Following Control of a Target Person(Aerial Robot and Mechatronics (1))

Abstract

In this study, we are aiming to develop a children watching system using a small UAV. As necessary functions, we discuss detection of a targeted person, position estimation of the person and following control of the UAV, in this report. The target person wearing a colored helmet is detected from the image taken on the UAV. Distance and direction to the person are calculated from the position and size of the helmet in the image. Some experimental results are also shown.
