Obstacle avoidance by a remote or autonomously operated vehicle, such as an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), is of critical importance. By utilizing a monocular camera, a UAV may capture an image and select a middle sub-image for processing. If the average depth of the pixels in the middle sub-image is greater than a previously determined threshold, the UAV may proceed forward. However, if the average depth of the pixels is less than the threshold, a turn is required. A left sub-image and a right sub-image are processed and, based on the one having the greatest depth, a turn instruction is provided to the UAV.
