Docking two multirotors in midair using relative vision measurements
The passive quadcopter localizes itself using a motion capture system and carries a marker at its bottom. The active drone localizes itself to the passive quadcopter by using the marker with its on-board camera. Sensors are used to gather the data to pull this off.
