Visual-based Safe Landing for UAVs in Populated Areas: Real-time Validation in Virtual Environments. (arXiv:2203.13792v1 [cs.RO])

Safe autonomous landing for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in populated
areas is a crucial aspect for successful urban deployment, particularly in
emergency landing situations. Nonetheless, validating autonomous landing in
real scenarios is a challenging task involving a high risk of injuring people.
In this work, we propose a framework for real-time safe and thorough evaluation
of vision-based autonomous landing in populated scenarios, using
photo-realistic virtual environments. We propose to use the Unreal graphics
engine coupled with the AirSim plugin for …
