To provide a system for automatic docking of an unmanned aerial vehicle.SOLUTION: A system comprises an unmanned aerial vehicle that includes a propulsion mechanism, an image sensor and a processing device, and a dock 100 that includes a landing surface 110 constituted to hold the unmanned aerial vehicle and a fiducial 120 on the landing surface 110. The processing device is configured to control the propulsion mechanism so that the unmanned aerial vehicle flies up to a first position in the vicinity of the dock 100, access one or more images photographed using the image sensor, detect the fiducial 120 in at least one of the one or more images, determine a posture of the fiducial 120 on the basis of the one or more images, and control the propulsion mechanism so that the unmanned aerial vehicle lands on the landing surface 110, on the basis of the posture of the fiducial 120.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

    【課題】無人航空機の自動ドッキングのためのシステムを提供する。【解決手段】推進機構、画像センサ、および処理装置を含む無人航空機と、無人航空機を保持するように構成された着陸面110、および着陸面110上のフィデューシャル120を含むドック100とを備え、処理装置は、無人航空機がドック100の近傍にある第1の位置まで飛行するように推進機構を制御し;画像センサを用いて撮影された1つ以上の画像にアクセスし、1つ以上の画像のうちの少なくとも1つにおいてフィデューシャル120を検出し、1つ以上の画像に基づいてフィデューシャル120の姿勢を決定し、フィデューシャル120の姿勢に基づいて、無人航空機が着陸面110上に着陸するように推進機構を制御するように構成される。【選択図】図1
