Abstract :
The design of a ground collision avoidance system for an airplane based on optimal control theory is presented in this paper. A control system is designed by linear quadratic tracker to track desired Euler angles of airplane. The system independent of 3 dimensional maps, works by using a forward looking camera. In addition, the obstacle is analyzed by digital image processing techniques. An optimal flight control system based on discrete-time linear quadratic tracker is designed, to fly over or pass obstacles like mountains automatically.
