Reactive avoidance using embedded stereo vision for MAV flight

Helen Oleynikova, Dominik Honegger, Marc Pollefeys

Abstract: High speed, low latency obstacle avoidance is essential for enabling Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) to function in cluttered and dynamic environments. While other systems exist that do high-level mapping and 3D path planning for obstacle avoidance, most of these systems require high-powered CPUs on-board or off-board control from a ground station.
