Frustumbug: a 3D Mapless Stereo-Vision-based Bug Algorithm for Micro Air Vehicles

We present a computationally cheap 3D bug algorithm for drones, using stereo vision. Obstacle avoidance is important, but difficult for robots with limited resources, such as drones. Stereo vision requires less weight and power than active distance measurement sensors, but typically has a limited Field of View (FoV). In addition, the stereo...
