Extreme Learning-Based Monocular Visual Servo of an Unmanned Surface Vessel

In this article, suffering from unmatched visual-servo uncertainties and unknown dynamics/disturbances, an extreme learning-based monocular visual-servo (ELMVS) scheme is developed for maneuvering an unmanned surface vessel (USV) to reach the desired pose. By virtue of the backstepping philosophy, complex visual-servo unknowns are elaborately encapsulated into lumped nonlinearities, which are further accurately accommodated by devising a...
