The increase in capability and performance of digital cameras, processors and image processing algorithms has caused vision-aided navigation of aerial vehicles to be a hot research of interest. In order to determine pose parameters form vision-aided navigation methods, it is common to use automatic image registration using information of reference databases. However, solving registration issue in automatic navigating of aerial vehicles has been considered a complex manner. In this paper, a novel method for vision-aided navigation of aerial vehicles to increase reliability and accuracy of geo-referencing aerial image is proposed. To have robust evaluation, different aerial images with variety of conditions are utilized to assess this method. Obtained results show high performance of proposed method to solve issues related to automatic GEO-referencing of aerial images.
