Drone position determining system for naval platform, has image processing unit associated to shooting unit for determining position of drone with respect to platform from configuration of markers forming units perceived by shooting units

摘要

The system has an image processing unit i.e. processor (19), associated to a shooting unit that shoots an environment near a landing zone, for determining position of a drone with respect to a naval platform from the configuration of optical markers forming units perceived by the shooting units. The shooting unit is formed of a large field camera (16) and small field cameras (17, 18). The optical markers forming units are formed of LEDs i.e. infra-red LEDs. A control unit controls blinking of the LEDs.
