- This master thesis is achieved in the context of the research led by Pr. Latteur and his team in the civil engineering department of the Université Catholique de Louvain whom are exploring the usage of UAVs in the field of the construction, which has never known a real revolution in the last decades. After the elaboration of new structural elements "drone-compatible" and a UAV, developing a positioning system will allow the drone to be autonomous and independent to achieve specific missions. In this purpose, a general positioning system combining different solutions must be elaborated. In this report, we will focus on the usage of the image processing for local positioning of the structural elements from which the drone will be able to detect it and to localize it in the purpose to transport it.
