Fluid flow control using visual servoing
Commande des écoulements fluides par asservissement visuel
Résumé
This paper introduces for the first time the control of a fluid flow using visual servoing. The control consists to regulate a flow around a desired velocities profile. The originality here is the possibility to use optical flow measurements, computed from the observed flow, in a visual servo control scheme. Compared to existing approaches that uses a limited set of measurements to control a fluid flow, our approach is shown to be a major improvement in terms of the flow state estimation and control.
