ABSTRACT
The paper considers a problem of autonomous navigation for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The main steps of the model construction are described and a method for finding its parameters is presented which is based on ASIFT algorithm that uses video stream as input source. The results of experimental simulation of navigation without GPS signal are presented which confirm practical potential of the model implementation.
KEYWORDS
