This paper focuses on the vision-based autonomous landing mission of a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). A double-layered nested Aruco landing marker is designed which can adapt to the situation that the field of sight of airborne camera changes as the UAV’s altitude decreases during the landing. Then, considering that the landing marker might be obstructed in certain situation, traditional Aruco detection method cannot effectively recognize marker. A YOLOv4 deep learning algorithm is used for marker detection. In addition, to address the problem of false detection in some test results, normalized Wasserstein distance is used to replace the non-maximum suppression to deal with redundant frames. The UAV’s relative location to the marker is then calculated and landing mission is finally achieved by the image-based visual servoing strategy. The simulation on Gazebo demonstrates that the designed marker is effective for the UAV landing mission and the revised YOLOv4 detection algorithm can increase detection results accuracy.
