  Abstract

The safety and autonomous flight function of micro UAV or drones is crucial to its commercial application. The requirement of own building stable drones is still a non-trivial obstacle for researchers that want to focus on the intelligence function, such vision and navigation algorithm. The paper present a GCS using commercial drone and hardware platforms, and open source software. The system follows modular architecture and now composed of the communication, UI, image processing. Especially, lane-keeping algorithm. are designed and verified through testing at a sports stadium. The designed lane-keeping algorithm estimates drone position and heading in the lane using Hough transform for line detection, RANSAC-vanishing point algorithm for selecting the desired lines, and tracking algorithm for stability of lines. The flight of drone is controlled by ‘forward’, ‘stop’, ‘clock-rotate’, and ‘counter-clock rotate’ commands. The present implemented system can fly straight and mild curve lane at 2-3 m/s.
