Research on the application of image processing in improving the reconnaissance efficiency of UAV

A quadrotor equipped with a fixed-wing (hereinafter referred to as the quadrotor tail-sitter UAV) has been developed by authors. The quadrotor tail-sitter UAV can hover like a quadrotor and can fly like a fixed-wing airplane. The remarkable ...

The challenge for unmanned aerial vehicles to sense and avoid obstacles becomes even harder if narrow passages have to be crossed. An approach to solve a mission scenario that tackles the problem of such narrow passages is presented here. The task is to ...

This study proposes a ducted-fan flight array (DFA) system that can change the array based on the mission environment and validate the feasibility through ground and flight tests. This DFA can carry out normal formation flight as separated UAV ...
