Autonomous Drone Guidance and Landing System Using AR/high-accuracy Hybrid Markers

Abstract

We propose an autonomous guidance and landing control system for drone in indoor environment using a camera and visual markers. We developed a hybrid marker that combines a conventional AR marker and a high-accuracy marker developed by AIST, in order to achieve both the guidance of drones from a long distance and the accurate landing control based on localization at a short distance. We demonstrated the effectiveness through experiments using a prototype of the guidance and landing system.
