摘要:
在无人机(UAV)执行自主任务时,一个关键挑战是其在未知环境中的导航能力。本文提出了一种用于纳米无人机自主导航的新型视觉-深度融合方法。我们将基于视觉的PULP-Dronet卷积神经网络用于语义信息提取,即作为全局感知,与8x8像素深度图相结合,用于近距离机动,即局部感知。在实地测试中,我们的集成策略凸显了视觉和深度感官信息的互补优势。在包含直线路径、静态障碍物规避和90°转弯的复杂导航场景中,我们在15次飞行中实现了100%的成功率。
英文摘要:
A critical challenge in deploying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for autonomous tasks is their ability to navigate in an unknown environment. This paper introduces a novel vision-depth fusion approach for autonomous navigation on nano-UAVs. We combine the visual-based PULP-Dronet convolutional neural network for semantic information extraction, i.e., serving as the global perception, with 8x8px depth maps for close-proximity maneuvers, i.e., the local perception. When tested in-field, our integration strategy highlights the complementary strengths of both visual and depth sensory information. We achieve a 100% success rate over 15 flights in a complex navigation scenario, encompassing straight pathways, static obstacle avoidance, and 90° turns.
