The Tasks
Task 1: Compute the UAV position during landing.
Develop an algorithm to integrate the two measurement systems used during landing. Ensure that the
algorithm provides the best estimate for the UAV position based on both instruments. Use your
algorithm to compute the best estimate of the UAV position at the times required (UAV1, UAV2, UAV3).
Task 2: Determine whether the landing should be aborted.
Compute the vector of closest approach of the UAV to the runway centreline at the three critical times.
If the UAV is not within the required “landing envelope” at any of these times the landing should be
aborted.
Task 3: Image processing
Develop an algorithm to compute the four parameters required to transform the image coordinates
(pixels) to real world coordinates (meters). Use the supplied data to verify that the algorithm is working
correctly by estimating a set of transformation parameters.
