Visual motion observer-based stabilizing receding horizon control via image space navigation function

This paper investigates stabilizing receding horizon control via an image space navigation function for a three-dimensional (3-D) visual feedback system. Firstly, a brief summary of a visual motion observer is given. Next, a visual motion error system is reconstructed in order to apply to time-varying desired motion. Then, visual motion observer-based stabilizing receding horizon control for the 3-D visual feedback system, highly nonlinear and relatively fast system, is proposed. Moreover, a path planner to be appropriate for the visual motion error system is designed through the image space navigation function to keep all features into a camera field of view. Finally, simulation results are shown in order to confirm the proposed method.
