Abstract :
The paper presents a method to assist the landing of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) on a moving Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). The measurement of the relative position of the UAV and the UGV is carried out by a cheap USB camera. The paper deals with the list of the difficulties of such a system which have to be taken into account and develop ideas on how to overcome them. The solution of the key problems is implemented and tested by experiments.
