AbstractThe paper illustrates a vision based control scheme for control of Aileron, Elevator and Rudder of flying robot to detect the helipad or landing mark and align the orientation according to helipad. Wireless camera with RF receiver and transmitter is used as the image sensor to detect and grab the image data to send to PC, then with vision algorithm, the system can find the relative position and orientation between the landing mark and flying robot. The control system is paiiially to test the reaction and time usage of algorithm to move and align the position over the helipad. This is one useful approach to test vision algorithm with color thresholding, however it need the improvement for the computational cost and the reliability from image sensor.
