Abstract:
The robotics field has grown in recent years to a point where unmanned systems are no longer limited by their capabilities. As such, the mission profiles for unmanned systems are becoming more and more complicated, and a demand has risen for the deployment of unmanned systems into the most complex of environments. Additionally, the objectives for unmanned systems are once more complicated by the necessity for beyond line of sight teleoperation, and in some cases complete vehicle autonomy. Such systems require adequate sensory devices for appropriate situational awareness. Additionally, a larg

Abstract:
A new impetus to develop autonomous aerial refueling has arisen out of the growing demand to expand the capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). With autonomous aerial refueling, UAVs can retain the advantages of being small, inexpensive, and expendable, while offering superior range and loiter-time capabilities. VisNav, a vision based sensor, offers the accuracy and reliability needed in order to provide relative navigation information for autonomous probe and drogue aerial refueling for UAVs.

An urban operation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) demands a high level of autonomy for tasks presented in a cluttered environment.

Their inability to hover and low agility in motion cause more difficulties on finding a feasible path to move safely in a compact region, and the limited payload allows only low-grade sensors for state estimation and control.

Abstract:
In some dense urban environments (e.g., a street with tall buildings around), vehicle localization result provided by Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver might not be accurate or even unavailable due to signal reflection (multi-path) or poor satellite visibility. In order to improve the accuracy and robustness of assisted navigation systems so as to guarantee driving security and service continuity on road, a vehicle localization approach is presented in this thesis by taking use of the redundancy and complementarities of multiple sensors. At first, GPS localization method is complemented

Abstract:
L'amélioration des capteurs a permis l'émergence de la commande référencée capteurs qui permet la réalisation de diverses tâches de navigation de façon précises. L'intention de cette thèse est de contribuer à définir des stratégies de commande référencées multicapteurs pour un robot mobile réalisant une tâche référencée vision dans un environnement encombré d'obstacles susceptibles d'occulter le motif visuel. Nous avons ainsi proposé des lois de commandes permettant d'éviter à la fois les occultations et les collisions. Toutefois,les résultats obtenus ont montré que chercher à éviter simultané

Abstract:
This paper deals with the topic of design of a navigation system for an autonomous mobile robot in a park-like environment. Precisely, designing methods for road detection using available sensoric system, designing a mathematical model for fusion of these data, and suggesting a representation of an environment suitable for planning and local navigation.

Abstract:
Most existing structural health monitoring (SHM) techniques are based on measured acceleration data. Such practice, however, is highly expensive to operate, mainly due to cumbersome, time-consuming and expensive installation of sensors and their data acquisition systems. As an emerging noncontact method, the vision-based displacement sensor systems have attracted significant research interests and offered a promising alternative to the conventional sensors for SHM. However, most existing vision-based sensors require physical access to the structure to install a predesigned target panel, which

Abstract:
Automated spacecraft docking is a concept of operations with several important potential applications. One application that has received a great deal of attention recently is that of an automated docking capable unmanned re-supply spacecraft. In addition to being useful for re-supplying orbiting space stations, automated shuttles would also greatly facilitate the manned exploration of nearby space objects, including the Moon, near-Earth asteroids, or Mars. These vehicles would allow for longer duration human missions than otherwise possible and could even accelerate human colonization of other

Abstract:
This paper investigates two distinct, but related, topics in machine vision. The first is the effect of lighting on the performance of a 2D vision-based inspection system. The lighting component of machine vision has often been overlooked; an attempt was made to quantify the impact on existing machine vision algorithms. The second topic explores the applications of a data-rich 3D vision sensor that is capable of providing depth data in a wide range of ambient lightning conditions for industrial applications. A focus is placed on inspection systems with the depth data provided by the sensor. Th
