The aim of this project is to use a down facing camera as a range and bearing sensor for a quadcopter for localization purposes. The environment and robot is simulated in a robot simulator V-REP, the environment consists of a 10mx10m grid with colored markers placed at regular intervals. Performance of different algorithms for marker detection is evaluated based on the error in the localization accuracy. The algorithms used are contour detection, template matching and phase correlation.
