Abstract

This paper addresses the hover flight stabilization problems of a four-rotor rotorcraft using fusion of visual information given by a single camera and inertial information obtained from an Inertial Measurement Unit. We use the optical flow in combination with the integration of gyro measurement to estimate the linear and rotational yaw velocities as well as the position and velocity of a UAV. Experimental results show a satisfactory flight performance of the four-rotor rotorcraft platform.
