Abstract

Most of the landing systems are based on GPS and radar altimeter, sonar, infrared. But in urban environments buildings and other obstacles disturb the GPS signal and can even cause loss of signal. In such case it will be beneficial to have independent control of navigation and landing assistance system. So the main aim is to design a software system that will assist helicopter or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle accurately under all-weather. The software system takes height parameter and images from helicopter or Unmanned Aerial Vehicle as an input. After applying number of processing techniques like edge detection, RGB to Gray scale on the image, the image is compared with the HSV dataset to find the free space. For edge detection Canny edge detection algorithm is used. From the number of free spaces nearest patch is selected by taking vehicle dimension and landing orientation of the vehicle into consideration. Performance of the system depends on the accuracy and the speed of the system. This system also resolves the potentially dangerous problem of GPS denial.
