A Height Estimation Approach for Terrain Following Flights from Monocular Vision

A Height Estimation Approach for Terrain Following Flights from Monocular Vision

In this paper, we present a monocular vision-based height estimation algorithm for terrain following flights. The impressive growth of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) usage, notably in mapping applications, will soon require the creation of new technologies to enable these systems to better perceive t...
