Abstract
Systems and methods for UAV collision detection and avoidance are provided. A UAV may include a camera configured to capture a stream of images of a scene, the stream of images including a first frame and a second frame captured after the first frame. The UAV may further include a logic device configured to identify an object in the stream of images, perform a depth estimation between the UAV and the detected object based on a comparison between the first frame and the second frame, and determine a collision path of the UAV to the object based on the depth estimation and a direction of travel of the UAV.
