SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AUTO-RETURN

Systems and methods for vision-based auto-return are provided for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) (100, 410) traversing an environment. The UAV (100, 410) may comprise multiple cameras (120a, 120b, 120c, 120d, 220, 415) with different orientations that may capture different fields of view (130a, 130b, 415). Image data collected by the multiple cameras (120a, 120b, 130c, 120d, 220, 415) may be stored or used for navigational aid, such as performing the auto-return. A selected portion of the image data, such as selected image features, may be stored or used for auto-return.
