Augmented Reality in UAVs Applications

We present the example of Attitude Indicator Augmented Reality (AR) control for the unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) ground control station. The article describes perspective heads-up display overlaid on the image, which is acquired from the UAV rotatable camera. Article shows the mechanisms of aircraft camera calibration with the AR artificial horizon. The whole algorithm of the render instructions is presented. Elements used in the augmented reality are as follows: 3D artificial horizon, latitude and longitude, GPS info, executed command, time to command end, percent of command accomplish, fuel and battery level, height and speed vertical scale, landing field direction arrow, unmanned vehicles marks.
