Finally, in Chap. 11, we document the design and implementation of a comprehensive vision system for an unmanned rotorcraft to realize missions such as ground target detection and following. To realize the autonomous ground target seeking and following, a sophisticated vision algorithm is proposed to detect the target and estimate relative distance to the target using an onboard color camera together with necessary navigation sensors. The vision feedback is then integrated with the automatic flight control system to guide the unmanned helicopter to follow the ground target inflight. The overall vision system is tested in actual flight missions, and the results obtained show that it is robust and efficient.
