Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This paper applies vision-based target detection and tracking on the application of UAV landing. A comparison between the proposed work and related works [17-21] is missing. The paper is written well but still requires some typing error check. For exampe: DTRT in page 11 (should be DTAT?), 60 cm in length and 5 cm in width in page 5 (should be 50cm?)

Reviewer 2 Report

Dear Editor,

my comments for Authors:

  1. abstract, all acronyms must be explained, e.g. GPS, PID, ROS etc.
  2. line 46-54, please add more papers about UAV positioning using e.g. SBAS system (EGNOS, SDCM etc)
  3. algorithm (1-11), please check if all symbols are explained in text.
  4. discussion, please also compare your solution with scientific knowledge analysis (e.g. papers from References). Why your solution is better? 
  5. References, please add more papers, see point 2.
