contents This work addresses the problem of designing a visual servo controller for a multirotor vehicle, with the end goal of tracking a moving spherical target with unknown radius. To address this problem, we first transform two bearing measurements provided by a camera sensor into a bearing-angle pair. We then use this information to derive the system's dynamics in a new set of coordinates, where the angle measurement is used to quantify a relative distance to the target. Building on this system representation, we design an adaptive nonlinear control algorithm that takes advantage of the properties of the new system geometry and assumes that the target follows a constant acceleration model. Simulation results illustrate the performance of the proposed control algorithm.
