Study for the localization of vehicles using a drone with stereoscopic vision

Abstract

Nowadays, drones use sensors such as GPS, gyroscopes, and accelerometers to obtain the position and use it to coordinate different autonomous vehicles. However, many times these sensors fail or obtain information affected by noise. Therefore the position of aerial vehicles is sometimes inaccurate, especially if drones fly where the GPS signal does not reach the drone’s GPS. Therefore, in situations where certain vehicles are coordinated, it is necessary to estimate their position by other methods. This thesis addresses the location problem by obtaining the position of the surrounding vehicles employing a stereoscopic camera. Furthermore, the location is constantly obtained by performing a continuous tracking of the vehicle. Thus, in this way, it is possible to provide a constant location of an object which has no GPS or inaccurate locating systems
