Abstract: Systems and methods described herein incorporate autonomous navigation using a vision-based guidance system. The vision-based guidance system enables autonomous trajectory planning and motion execution by the described systems and methods without feedback or communication with external operators. The systems and methods described herein can autonomously track an object of interest while seeking to obtain a diversity of views of the object of interest to aid in object identification. The systems and methods described include a robust reacquisition methodology. By handling navigation and tracking autonomously, systems described herein can react more quickly to non-cooperative moving objects of interest and can operate in situations where communications with external operators is compromised or absent.
