Small unmanned and lightweight aircrafts, known as Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs), have gained much attention in recent years. In this thesis we approach the problem of enabling such MAVs to fly autonomously without the need for human intervention. The sensor technology that is chosen for this task is stereo vision. As research platform for this work serves a small quadrotor MAV that has been equipped with four cameras in two stereo configurations. We study a broad range of problems that need to be solved for the construction of a stereo vision based autonomous MAV. The first problem that we examine is stereo matching. We introduce a new sparse stereo matching algorithm that achieves very high processing rates while also delivering accura...
