摘要：This paper addresses the challenge of a real-time capable vision system in the task of trajectory and surface reconstruction by aerial image sequences. The goal is to present the design, methods and strategies of a real-time capable vision system solving the mapping task for secure navigation of small UAVs with a single camera. This includes the estimation process, map representation, initialization processes, loop closing detection and exploration strategies. The estimation process is based on the Kalman-Filter and a landmark based map representation. We introduce a new initialization method for new observed landmarks. We will show that the initialization process and the exploration strategy has a significant effect on the accuracy of the estimated camera trajectory and of the map
