Stereo-vision-based Collision Avoidance Simulation

Published: 18 April 2019 Publication History

Abstract

Because of safety concerns with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV's), an effective collision avoidance algorithm is highly desirable on such vehicles. In this research, a stereo-vision distance-measurement-based UAV collision avoidance system for autonomous high-speed UAV's is proposed. We simulate the algorithm using a test bed consists of an OpenGL (Open Graphic Library) simulator of cockpit video and OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library)-based image processing. The testing and results shows that the proposed algorithm works satisfactorily in both controlled and uncontrolled scenarios.
