Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention relate to an obstacle detection method and apparatus and an unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes a binocular photographing component and a laser texture component. The method includes: determining to start the laser texture component; starting the laser texture component, to emit a laser texture; obtaining a binocular view that is collected by the binocular photographing component and that includes the laser texture, and setting the binocular view that includes the laser texture as a target binocular view; and performing obstacle detection based on the target binocular view. In the above technical solutions, according to the embodiments of the present invention, precision of binocular stereo matching can be improved without changing an original binocular matching algorithm and structure, thereby improving precision of obstacle detection. In addition, the unmanned aerial vehicle can perform binocular sensing while flying at night.
