Recognition of a landing platform for unmanned aerial vehicles by using computer vision-based techniques

作者:

Highlights:

• We design an automatic Expert System for the identification of a landing platform.

• We apply image segmentation methods to identify a specific figure for UAVs.

• We extract features and properties from the set of regions in the platform.

• We carry out several kind of processes to identify the different parts of the figure.

• We establish geometric relations between regions for identification and orientation.
