Gaussian process-based visual pursuit control with unknown target motion learning in three dimensions

In this paper, we propose an observer-based visual pursuit control integrating three-dimensional target motion learning by Gaussian Process Regression (GPR). We consider a situation where a visual sensor equipped rigid body pursuits a target rigid body whose velocity is unknown but dependent on the...

Description
Summary:In this paper, we propose an observer-based visual pursuit control integrating three-dimensional target motion learning by Gaussian Process Regression (GPR). We consider a situation where a visual sensor equipped rigid body pursuits a target rigid body whose velocity is unknown but dependent on the target's pose. We estimate the pose from visual information and propose a Gaussian Process (GP) model to predict the target velocity from the pose estimate. We analyse stability of the proposed control by showing that estimation and control errors are ultimately bounded with high probability. Finally, simulations illustrate the performance of the proposed control schemes even if the visual measurement is corrupted by noise.
