A Practical Visual Servo Control for an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

Résumé

An image-based visual servo control is presented for an Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capable of stationary or quasi-stationary flight with the camera mounted on board the vehicle. The target considered consists of a finite set of stationary and disjoint points lying in a plane. Control of the position and orientation dynamics are decoupled using a visual error based on spherical centroid data, along with estimations of the linear velocity and the gravitational inertial direction extracted from image features and an embedded IMU. The visual error used compensates for poor conditioning of the image Jacobian matrix by introducing a non-homogeneous gain term adapted to the visual sensitivity of the error measurements. A nonlinear controller, that ensures exponential convergence of the system considered, is derived for the full dynamics of the system using control Lyapunov function design techniques. Experimental results on a quad-rotor UAV, developed in the French Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), demonstrate the robustness and performance of the proposed control strategy.
