Applying BAT Evolutionary Optimization to Image-Based Visual Servoing

الملخص EN

This paper presents a predictive control strategy for an image-based visual servoing scheme that employs evolutionary optimization.

The visual control task is approached as a nonlinear optimization problem that naturally handles relevant visual servoing constraints such as workspace limitations and visibility restrictions.

As the predictive scheme requires a reliable model, this paper uses a local model that is based on the visual interaction matrix and a global model that employs 3D trajectory data extracted from a quaternion-based interpolator.

The work assumes a free-flying camera with 6-DOF simulation whose results support the discussion on the constraint handling and the image prediction scheme.
