Abstract

The present invention relates to a system and a method for mobile landing of an unmanned vehicle. The method includes: detecting a landing target pattern by a three-dimensional sensing module and transmitting the landing target pattern to a calculation module, the landing target being a moving object; calculating, by the calculation module, a relative correction parameter of a guiding coordinate position of a return side relative to a coordinate position of the unmanned vehicle according to the landing target pattern and the guiding coordinate position of the return side; correcting, by the calculation module, the guiding coordinate position of the return side according to the relative correction parameter to obtain a corrected guiding coordinate position; then calculating, by the calculation module, a deviation value between the corrected guiding coordinate position and the coordinate position of the unmanned vehicle, and transmitting the deviation value to the vehicle side control module, and controlling, by the vehicle side control module, the unmanned vehicle to arrive at the return side according to the deviation value. The present invention thereby achieves a precise dynamic target landing.
