At the Kazan National Research Technical University named after A. N. Tupolev (KNITU-KAI) and the Scientific and Educational Center "Unmanned Aerial Vehicles" are working on the problem of equipping Russian drones with computer vision. Computer vision technologies are based on models, methods and algorithms for processing and analyzing images.
Computer vision will help UAVs continue to operate even in the absence or loss of communication with GPS satellites: the "birds" will be able to use autonomous navigation and land. The project is being implemented within the framework of the Ministry of Education and Science program "Priority-2030".
Scientists have already compiled the necessary algorithms for stable detection by UAV sensors of the centers of round markers of a natural or artificial nature in images.
The developed algorithms allow you to detect round markers with high accuracy and localize their centers, relative to which the unmanned aerial vehicle will be attached when solving navigation problems.
Earlier it became known that a center for the production of "Bars" drones worth 2.5 billion rubles will open in Tatarstan. Such centers will be built throughout Russia.
