  1. 1. Drones for Sea Rescue: Lab and Field Experiments on Camera Gimbal Control

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för elektro- och informationsteknik

    Author : Alexander Sandström; [2023]
    Keywords : Drones; Search and Rescue; Unmanned Aerial Vehicle; UAV; gimbal; camera control; ArduPilot; Quality of Experience; QoE; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The objective of this thesis has been to improve the camera controls of a fixed-wing drone to be used in maritime search-and-rescue operations by the Swedish Sea Rescue Society (SSRS). A gimbal control interface (GCI) has been implemented that displays the video feed of the drone camera while taking control inputs from a joystick that moves its view in real-time. READ MORE

  3. 2. Design of control system for UAV-based video recording and tracking

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för reglerteknik

    Author : Ludvig Langebro; Baldomero Puche Moreno; [2020]
    Keywords : Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The core objective of this project was to design a controller for a drone (or quadcopter) that would allow the drone to keep a target in the center of a video filmed by a camera mounted on the drone. This was done by controlling the pitch of the gimbal, on which the camera was placed, and the yaw of the entire drone combined with using an image recognition program that could identify the target.
