On-board multi-objective mission planning for unmanned aerial vehicles (2009)
Wu, Paul P.Y., Campbell, Duncan A., Merz, Torsten
A system for automated mission planning is presented with a view to operate Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in the National Airspace System (NAS). This paper describes methods for modelling decision...
Control System Framework for Autonomous Robots Based on Extended State Machines (2009)
Torsten Merz, Piotr Rudol, Mariusz Wzorek
We present a new framework optimized for the design, implementation, and testing of control systems for autonomous robots. It is based on a new visual specification language which specifies both...

The use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) which can operate autonomously in dynamic and complex operational environments is becoming increasingly more common. While the application domains in which...
Autonomous landing of an unmanned helicopter based on vision and inertial sensing (2004)
Torsten Merz, Simone Duranti, Gianpaolo Conte
Abstract. In this paper, we propose an autonomous precision landing method for an unmanned helicopter based on an on-board visual navigation system consisting of a single pan-tilting camera,...
Dynamic 3D path following for an autonomous helicopter (2004)
Gianpaolo Conte, Simone Duranti, Torsten Merz
Abstract: A hybrid control system for dynamic path following for an autonomous helicopter is described. The hierarchically structured system combines continuous control law execution with...

Line segmentation for interferograms of continously deforming objects (1997)
Torsten Merz, Dietrich Paulus, Heinrich Niemann
A new robust and fast method for non-interactive line segmentation of interferograms is proposed. Fringe contours are represented as a set of polygons using a new technique for contour approximation....
