Abstract
This work presents real time computer vision techniques for autonomous navigation and operation of unmanned aerial vehicles. The proposed techniques are based on image feature matching and projective methods. Particularly, the paper presents the application to helicopter motion compensation and object detection. These techniques have been implemented in the framework of the COMETS multi-UAV systems. Furthermore, The work presents the application of the proposed techniques in a forest fire scenario in which the COMETS system can be demonstrated.Keywords
