This paper presents a novel monocular vision-based realtime obstacle detection and avoidance for a low cost unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in an unstructured, GPS denied environment. We propose a mathematical model to estimate the relative distance from the UAV's camera to an obstacle which will subsequently be used in a collision avoidance algorithm. We validate our model with some real time experiments under both stationary and dynamic motion of the UAV during its flight. The results show good agreement with the ground truth values with an acceptable percentage of error in estimation under 3% thus proving it can facilitate obstacle detection and avoidance for low cost and lightweight UAVs.
