  • Fuzzy Logic Based Approach to Design of Autonomous Landing System for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
    Journal of Intelligent & Robotic Systems, 2011
    Co-Authors: Ömer Çetin, Sefer Kurnaz, Okyay Kaynak
    Abstract:

    This paper is concerned with autonomous flight of UAVs and proposes a fuzzy logic based autonomous flight and landing system controller. Besides three fuzzy logic controllers which are developed for autonomous navigation for UAVs in a previous work as fuzzy logic based autonomous mission control blocks, three more fuzzy logic modules are developed under the main landing system for the control of the horizontal and the vertical positions of the Aircraft against the runway under a TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation) approach. The performance of the fuzzy logic based controllers is evaluated using the standard configuration of MATLAB and the Aerosim Aeronautical Simulation Block Set which provides a complete set of tools for rapid development of 6 degree-of-freedom nonlinear generic manned/unmanned aerial vehicle models. Additionally, FlightGear Flight Simulator and GMS Aircraft Instruments are deployed in order to get visual outputs that aid the designer in evaluating the performance and the potential of the controllers. The simulated test flights on an Aerosonde indicate the capability of the approach in achieving the desired performance despite the simple design procedure.

  • FUZZY LOGIC BASED AUTONOMOUS LANDING SYSTEM FOR UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES
    IFAC Proceedings Volumes, 2010
    Co-Authors: Okyay Kaynak
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper is concerned with final approach and touch-down periods of UAVs and proposes a fuzzy logic based autonomous landing system controller. Three fuzzy logic modules are developed under the main landing system for the control of the horizontal and the vertical positions of the Aircraft against the runway under a TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation) approach. The performance of the fuzzy logic based controllers is evaluated using MATLAB's standard configuration and the Aerosim Aeronautical Simulation Block Set which provides a complete set of tools for rapid development of 6 degree-of-freedom nonlinear generic manned/unmanned aerial vehicle models. Additionally, FlightGear Flight Simulator and GMS Aircraft Instruments are deployed in order to get visual outputs that aid the designer in evaluating the performance and the potential of the controllers. The simulated test flights on an Aerosonde indicate the capability of the approach in achieving the desired performance despite the simple design procedure.

  • Fuzzy Logic Based Approach to Design of Flight Control and Navigation Tasks for Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
    Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems, 2009
    Co-Authors: Sefer Kurnaz, Ömer Çetin, Okyay Kaynak
    Abstract:

    This paper proposes a fuzzy logic based autonomous navigation controller for UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). Three fuzzy logic modules are developed under the main navigation system for the control of the altitude, the speed, and the heading, through which the global position (latitude–longitude) of the air vehicle is controlled. A SID (Standard Instrument Departure) and TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation) approach is used and the performance of the fuzzy based controllers is evaluated with time based diagrams under MATLAB’s standard configuration and the Aerosim Aeronautical Simulation Block Set which provides a complete set of tools for rapid development of detailed six-degree-of-freedom nonlinear generic manned/unmanned aerial vehicle models. The Aerosonde UAV model is used in the simulations in order to demonstrate the performance and the potential of the controllers. Additionally, FlightGear Flight Simulator and GMS Aircraft Instruments are deployed in order to get visual outputs that aid the designer in the evaluation of the controllers. Despite the simple design procedure, the simulated test flights indicate the capability of the approach in achieving the desired performance.

  • IEEE Conf. on Intelligent Systems - Automated Aircraft instrument reading using real time video analysis
    2016 IEEE 8th International Conference on Intelligent Systems (IS), 2016
    Co-Authors: Wasiq Khan, Darren Ansell, Kaya Kuru, Amina
    Abstract:

    Automated Dial Reading (ADR) using image processing is a challenging task that has to deal with the dynamics of real time environment. Literature contains limited research work for ADR that is based on background subtraction, object tracking, and pattern recognition. These methods suffer from dynamic environment such as: varying light intensity, poor resolution, and vibrations in capturing device. A valuable contribution to the existing dial reading approaches is made in this paper by deploying convolution method which plays a significant role in needle/hand recognition within a dial. Proposed dial reading approach is successfully used and tested reading analogue Aircraft Instruments facilitated by the Flight Guardian1 (FG) project for automated reading of the cockpit devices in dynamic environments. Performance is evaluated by statistical analysis of the experimental results that proved the robustness of the proposed method.
