Improved LiDAR–Camera Calibration Based on Hand–Eye Model Under Motion Limitation

Abstract: The extrinsic transformation between LiDAR and camera is 6-DoF, but the motion of robot is mainly 3-DoF. The classical hand–eye calibration method used in unmanned aerial vehicles or ...

Similarity Relations of PID Flight Control Parameters of Scaled-Model and Full-Size Aircraft

Abstract: To carry out a scaled-model flight test of a high-gain aircraft with a proportional plus integral plus derivative (PID) flight control design, the similarity relations of the flight control ...
