Image-Based Visual Servo Control of the Translation Kinematics of a Quadrotor Aerial Vehicle

In this paper, we investigate a range of image-based visual servo control algorithms for regulation of the position of a quadrotor aerial vehicle. The most promising control algorithms have been successfully implemented on an autonomous aerial vehicle and demonstrate excellent performance.
