摘要:Substantial progress has been made recently towards designing, building and test-flying remotely piloted micro air vehicles (MAVs) and small unmanned air vehicles. We seek to complement this progress in overcoming the aerodynamic obstacles to flight at very small scales with a visionguided flight stability and autonomy system, based on a robust horizon detection algorithm. In this paper, we first motivate the use of computer vision for MAV autonomy, arguing that given current sensor technology, vision may be the only practical approach to the problem. We then describe our statistical vision-based horizon detection algorithm, which has been demonstrated at 30 Hz with over 99.9% correct horizon identification. Next, we develop robust schemes for the detection of extreme MAV attitudes, where no horizon is visible, and for the
