摘要
Auto landing control is a very important control mode of unmanned helicopter. Global positioning system (GPS) is the typical position sensor for landing control. However, the height measurement error of GPS is so large that it is not accurate enough for helicopter landing. In this paper, we propose a stereo vision system composed with two webcams to provide more accurate height information in certain range of height. The block matching algorithm (BMA) is proposed for searching corresponding points. From the experimental results, BMA can authentically search the corresponding point in low resolution images and can provide an acceptable height estimation result in a reasonable range. © 2010 ISSN 1881-803X.
