Omid Esrafilian | Simultaneous localization and mapping and autonomous flight of a quad rotor robot using a monocular camera Abstract It goes without saying that in such a sophisticated world the prominent role of the robots cannot be eliminated. When it comes to the Robots, controversy surrounds the issue how to construct an autonomous robot. The aim of this thesis is the indoor autonomous flight and exploration of a Quad-Rotor robot by a monocular SLAM. In general, this study consists of two parts, namely estimating the 3D robot position and reconstructing the environment map, and determining the unseen areas and generating an appropriate path to explore such areas. The former part encompasses some methods for scale correction, information filtering, and map enrichment. To estimate the robot position and reconstruct the environment map in this thesis ORB-SLAM 2 has been used which works based on detecting corner features of image sequence and preduces sparse map. Morover, filtering and linear fiiting methods have been utilized for the sake of scaling factor correction and data compensation as well the new method has been presented for map enrichment. The latter part consists of unexplored area detection, goal determination, and path generation parts. The suitable and new method has been proposed for distinguishing the accessible and unaccessible localities and obstacles for exploring the environments as far as possible. Furthurmore, the new aproch for generating appropriate path has been proposed which includes some various path planning methods. All of the presented algorithms have been implemented using low cost commercial Quad-Rotor called AR.Drone and in the Robot Operating System (ROS). Moreover, experimental verifications of the proposed algorithms are reported. | 2017 | M.Sc. | Autonomous Robotics |
Omid Esrafilian, Mohammad Farahi, Mohammad Amin Mahmoudzadeh | Design and implementation of Quadrotor and autonomous mobile target tracking based on image processing Abstract According to the increasing importance of UAVs in lots of industries, in this thesis we describe the design and implementation procedure of a Quadrotor as a sample of these UAVs that have the ability of flight and mobile targets autonomous tracking. This thesis is the result of two and a half year persistence of this team and although in a summery, the results of the experiments and experiences will be discussed. In this procedure the electronic hardware and software of robot will be studied at first and then robot control and measuring system will be presented and discussed, then we begin the main subject by studing the embedded systems, machine vision and image processing. In the final we pursue the tracking mobile targets by Quadrotor in details. | 2014 | B.Sc. | Autonomous Robotics |
