Abstract
Attitude is one of the most important parameters for a UAV during a flight. Attitude computation methods based vision generally use the horizon line as reference. However, the horizon line becomes an inadequate feature in urban environment. We then propose in this paper an omnidirectional vision system based on straight lines (very frequent in urban environment) that is able to compute the roll and pitch angles. The method consists in finding bundles of horizontal and vertical parallel lines in order to obtain an absolute reference for the attitude computation. We also develop here a new and efficient method for line extraction and bundle of parallel line detection. An original method of horizontal and vertical plane detection is also provided. We show experimental results on different images extracted from video sequences.
