This paper is about vision-based navigation of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) at night. Despite it being dark almost half of the time, most of the work to date has addressed only daytime operations. Enabling autonomous night-time operation of MAVs with low SWaP on-board sensing capabilities is still an open problem in current robotics research. In this work, we take a step in this direction and study the problem in the context of vision-based autonomous landing at night using thermal-infrared cameras.
