Probabilistic Hough Voting For Attitude Estimation From Aerial Fisheye Images
IMAGE ANALYSIS, SCIA 2013: 18TH SCANDINAVIAN CONFERENCE(2013)
摘要
For navigation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), attitude estimation is essential. We present a method for attitude estimation (pitch and roll angle) from aerial fisheye images through horizon detection. The method is based on edge detection and a probabilistic Hough voting scheme. In a flight scenario, there is often some prior knowledge of the vehicle altitude and attitude. We exploit this prior to make the attitude estimation more robust by letting the edge pixel votes be weighted based on the probability distributions for the altitude and pitch and roll angles. The method does not require any sky/ground segmentation as most horizon detection methods do. Our method has been evaluated on aerial fisheye images from the internet. The horizon is robustly detected in all tested images. The deviation in the attitude estimate between our automated horizon detection and a manual detection is less than 1 degrees.
