Abstract
In this thesis, the fast matching algorithm for images with large scale disparity is proposed. The new method is of better matching performance and faster matching speed, which provides a possible solution for UAV navigation by means of computer vision. Then the UAV autonomous navigation algorithm is designed, and the effectiveness is proved in the experiments. Therefore, this thesis provides a smart and feasible navigation method for broader applications of UAVs in the future.
