Autonomous Object Detection and Landing with Parrot Rolling Spider in Matlab Simulink

Object detection using autonomous drones is a typical application of computer vision and robotics. More than detecting the objects with the UAV might be required since many real-life applications require some physical interaction with the detected objects. This paper proposes a generic frame-work implementing algorithmic code-blocks for a Flight Control System executing an autonomous object search, detection, and landing task on the detected surface. We adapt this framework in Matlab for simulation, deployment, and fine tune the final landing parameters on the supported Parrot Rolling Spider.
