Autonomous landing by computer vision: an application of path following in SE(3)
R. Frezza, Claudio Altafini · 2002
We describe a predictive control law for an aircraft autonomous approach to landing based on active vision. The path following problem and the control of the pan-tilt unit that holds the on-board camera are both formulated geometrically in the frameworks of SE(3) and on the sphere S/sup 2/.
