Oscillation Detection Of A Quadrotor System Carrying Suspended Payload Using Image Processing Technique

This paper proposes using an image processing technique to detect the
oscillation deflection of a quadrotor system carrying a suspended payload. A wireless
smart camera is attached underneath the quadrotor to capture the payload oscillation in
transit from one place to another. The image processing technique was used to measure the
oscillation and response based on the output signal captured by the smart camera. A Parrot
BEPOP quadrotor drone was used for the experiment and the image processing technique
was realised using MATLAB software. Experiments were carried out to detect and analyse
the payload oscillation response under different payload masses. The experiment results
demonstrate the effectiveness of the image processing technique in detecting the payload
oscillation under different payload masses.
