Terminal Constraint Model Predictive Control for Image-Based Visual Servoing of UAVs with Kalman Filter-Based Moment Loss Compensation
Image-Based Visual Servoing (IBVS) provides an efficient vision-guided control paradigm for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by directly regulating image-space errors. However, conventional IBVS controllers are vulnerable to two critical issues: loss of closed-loop stability near the target due to input and state constraints, and control failure caused by intermittent loss of moment-based visual features under aggressive motion. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a terminal-constraint model predictive control (TC-MPC) framework for IBVS, integrated with a Kalman filter (KF)-based state-prediction mechanism. The TC-MPC explicitly incorporates terminal-state constraints and a terminal cost into the IBVS error dynamics, ensuring recursive feasibility, improved convergence behavior, and closed-loop stability under control and state constraints. In parallel, the Kalman filter predicts the temporal evolution of image moments during short-term visual degradation, enabling the controller to preserve control continuity when moment measurements are partially unavailable. The proposed approach is validated through real-time UAV visual servoing experiments.
