Abstract :
In order to keep the ground target in the line of sight of the camera mounted on the gimbal, this paper presents some novel algorithms that generate a two dimensional unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) path around the ground target and the trajectories of gimbal mounted on UAV with respect to UAV location, and then gives the guidance law of the path following system of UAV and the gimbal tracking way. The results of computer simulation show that the performances of the methods presented in this paper are satisfied.
