Visual-based navigation for autonomous flight
Autonomous flight is a rapidly growing field, with the potential to revolutionize transportation and logistics. In this talk, Miguel will discuss the use of visual-based navigation for autonomous flight. Miguel will discuss the different types of visual-based navigation systems, before looking at challenges such as occlusion, illumination changes, and sensor noise.
