This chapter focuses on the position coordination of two camera‐equipped quadrotors in hover flight. Given the diversity of vision systems, in the chapter, the authors have decided to use a very simple combination of computer vision techniques and a simple control method applied to the position stabilization of a quadrotor UAV. The chapter aims to develop a vision‐based approach to achieve a coordination of multiple UAVs. The chapter describes the imaging algorithms developed with the purpose of estimating the vehicle’s states required for stabilizing its position during flight. Future work includes two or more experimental quadrotors with coordination, platoon vision‐based trajectory tracking, and indoor cooperative navigation. Platform improvements include using embedded wireless communication technologies such that every quadrotor could exchange its position directly with its neighbors. autonomous aerial vehicles; computer vision; hovercraft
