Ship Landing

Autonomous ship landing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is a challenging research area focused on developing robust and reliable systems for precise UAV landings on moving ship decks, even without GPS. Current research heavily utilizes computer vision, employing both deep learning models like transformer networks and classical computer vision techniques, often integrated with reinforcement learning algorithms for control. These advancements aim to improve the safety and efficiency of UAV operations in maritime environments, with potential applications in cargo delivery, surveillance, and search and rescue missions.
