A Novel Method for Measuring Drogue-UAV Relative Pose in Autonomous Aerial Refueling Based on Monocular Vision

The key to the docking phase of autonomous aerial refueling missions is the relative pose measurement between the drogue and unmanned aerial vehicles. A novel measurement method for drogue-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) relative poses based on monocular vision is proposed in this paper. An adaptive a...
