We present a real-time monocular simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) system with a new distributed structure for multi-UAV collaboration tasks. The system is different from other general SLAM systems in two aspects: First, it does not aim to build a global map, but to estimate the latest relative position between nearby vehicles; Second, there is no cen-tralized structure in the proposed system, and each vehicle owns an individual metric map and an ego-motion estimator to obtain the relative position between its own map and the neighboring vehicles'. To realize the above characteristics in real time, we demonstrate an innovative feature description and matching algorithm to avoid catastrophic expansion of feature point matching workload due to the increased number of UAVs. Based on the hash and principal component analysis, the matching time com-plexity of this algorithm can be reduced from O(log N) to O(1). To evaluate the performance, the algorithm is verified on the acknowledged multi-view stereo benchmark dataset, and excellent results are obtained. Finally, through the simulation and real flight experiments, this improved SLAM system with the proposed algorithm is validated.

在许多人眼里,我的老邻居张德金是个潇洒的老头儿:退休十来年,他年年去郊野观鸟;每周必去健身房锻炼,去图书馆看书,去公园唱歌,走遍十里八乡的景点。  张德金其实是一位“空巢”老人,当年老伴的突然去世对他打击很大。孤独、惆怅包围着他,后来他想到原中国足球教练米卢的名言:“态度决定一切”,他决定振作起来,用乐观的态度改变自己的寂寞,为此他制定了一整套“突围”行动。  一是一周必去一次图书馆,老张家离图书
