    To solve the problem of time-varying quadrotor formation tracking control under the condition of directional topology switching,a consensus control protocol based on special orthogonal group SO(3) under performance constraints is constructed by using the leader-follower strategy and local neighbors'state information.In this protocol,the information of the leader UAV can only be given to the neighbor UAVs,and the set of neighbor UAVs will change.The rotation matrix in the special orthogonal group SO(3) space is used to characterize the attitude of the quadrotor,and an attitude controller is designed based on this to accelerate the convergence of formation control.The experimental results show that when the dwelling time of switching the directional topology is greater than the fixed threshold and the feasibility conditions of time-varying formation tracking control are met,the multi-UAV system can realize the time-varying formation control by using the designed control law,which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

    A new carrier landing control method is proposed,that is,integrated direct side force controlled carrier landing.The direct side force is applied to carrier landing research for the first time.The longitudinal control concept of the U.S.Navy MAGIC CARPET carrier landing control is extended to the lateral control.The lateral direct force surface and the conventional lateral surface are comprehensively designed to realize the control decoupling of the three lateral channels.The lateral trajectory incremental control is designed on the direct side force channel,so that the lateral stick displacement is directly proportional to the lateral line-up drift rate.HUD symbology is improved,so that the pilot can observe the situation of carrier landing more directly.A carrier landing flight simulation environment is designed to simulate pilot control in real time.The simulation results show that the pilot can easily complete the lateral line-up correction with the “one stick control” strategy,just like MAGIC CARPET longitudinal control.At the same time,it can well track the lateral deck motion and resist crosswind disturbances,and the heading angle and the roll angle are basically unchanged in the whole process.Compared with conventional carrier landing,this method greatly reduces the pilot's handling burden and improves the landing performance.

    To ensure the performance of small moving target detection in dynamic backgrounds based on depth optical flow estimation,fewer times of down sampling are generally adopted to maintain a high resolution,which leads to large computational time consumption.Feature matching is a core processing link of depth optical flow estimation,which takes up a large proportion of the overall time consumption of optical flow estimation,and is very sensitive to the operation times of down sampling.Therefore,a fast optical flow estimation algorithm based on local feature matching is proposed.The target motion information is introduced,the spatial range of feature matching is narrowed,and the amount of data to be processed is reduced.A block-based local matching strategy is designed,and the batch processing mechanism is introduced to avoid the problem of large time consumption in data processing of the pointwise local matching strategythus to accelerate the algorithm.Based on this,CenterNet network is adopted to detect the optical flow anomaly areas corresponding to the moving target in the optical flow field obtained by optical flow estimation.Experimental verification is conducted from the perspectives of optical flow estimation time consumption and detection accuracy.The results show that as for small moving target detection,the block-based feature matching optical flow estimation has about 25% less time consumption than the global feature matching optical flow estimation,while the target detection performance is roughly equivalent.
