Abstract
While it is possible to use GPS and pressure-sensors in an outdoor environment, using these methods to hold a certain altitude and position in confined spaces or GPS denied environments is not possible. In this paper, a method to analyze a camera picture and use this information to achieve a hold position and altitude task via FPGA is proposed. The camera signal is processed and converted into control signals by the FPGA and then overlaid with the operator signals. This enables our prototype a semi- or fully autonomous indoor flight.
