AUTONOMOUS DRONE NAVIGATION BASED ON VISION

Abstract: systems, computer readable medium and methods for autonomous drone navigation based on vision are disclosed. example methods include capturing an image using an image capturing device of the autonomous drone, processing the image to identify an object, and navigating the autonomous drone relative to the object for a period of time. after the period of time a second type of navigation is used based on determining structure from motion navigation. images are captured during the period of time to transition to the second type of navigation. the second type of navigation uses a downward pointing navigation camera and other sensors.
