Abstract

Nowadays, the number of aerial unmanned vehicles (UAVs) is growing at a tremendous speed, as well as its technology. Therefore, it is essential to follow this growth with increasingly robust algorithms to be possible to exist cooperation between robots autonomously. One of the major events currently being developed in autonomous cooperation is relatively terrain classification where, this classification, is mainly important for emergency landings, mapping and decision making. This paper presents a robust computer vision system to sort terrain types using two main algorithms: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and Gray-Level Co-Occurrence Matrix (GLCM). In addition to these two algorithms, a neural network was designed with the aim of increasing the probability of success of the proposed system. In order to evaluate this article, the system is validated using videos acquired onboard of a UAV with a RGB camera.
