Ground target position estimation of near space vehicle is the key technology in military and civilian field. In this paper, we propose an effective method using the cubature Kalman filter (CKF) based on direction of arrival (DOA) and its rate of change. Comparisons with the location method only using DOA and the classic EKF algorithm are conducted respectively. Simulation results indicate that the proposed method has faster convergence speed and better location precision.

Small unmanned aerial systems (UASs) now have advanced waypoint-based navigation capabilities, which enable them to collect surveillance, wildlife ecology and air quality data in new ways. The ability to remotely sense and find a set of targets and descend and hover close to each target for an action is desirable in many applications, including inspection, search and rescue and spot spraying in agriculture. This paper proposes a robust framework for vision-based ground target finding and action using the high-level decision-making approach of Observe, Orient, Decide and Act (OODA). The proposed framework was implemented as a modular software system using the robotic operating system (ROS). The framework can be effectively deployed in different applications where single or multiple target detection and action is needed. The accuracy and precision of camera-based target position estimation from a low-cost UAS is not adequate for the task due to errors and uncertainties in low-cost sensors, sensor drift and target detection errors. External disturbances such as wind also pose further challenges. The implemented framework was tested using two different test cases. Overall, the results show that the proposed framework is robust to localization and target detection errors and able to perform the task.

Array Errors

Wideband multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) imaging radar can achieve high-resolution imaging with a specific multi-antenna structure. However, its imaging performance is severely affected by the array errors, including the inter-channel errors and the position errors of all the transmitting and receiving elements (TEs/REs). Conventional calibration methods are suitable for the narrow-band signal model, and cannot separate the element position errors from the array errors. This paper proposes a method for estimating and compensating the array errors of wideband MIMO imaging radar based on multiple prominent targets. Firstly, a high-precision target position estimation method is proposed to acquire the prominent targets’ positions without other equipment. Secondly, the inter-channel amplitude and delay errors are estimated by solving an equation-constrained least square problem. After this, the element position errors are estimated with the genetic algorithm to eliminate the spatial-variant error phase. Finally, the feasibility and correctness of this method are validated with both simulated and experimental datasets.

Plate Location

The license plate location method is the key technology of license plate recognition system, new algorithm is proposed based on LOG operator detecting edge of License Plate Location. First, a large number of color plate images are preprocessed to remove the background interference information, and then rough location of license plate based on block method, search area of plate will be greatly reduced and accurate positioning the plate will be realized by LOG operator combined with projection method. Static license plate image positioning by simulation and analysis show that the method has high accuracy in license plate location.
