N2 - This paper has presented an implementation of visual based non-GNSS navigation method for small VTOL (Vertically Taking-off and Landing) UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). A novel method of constructing landmarks is described in detail. It uses a pair of landmarks instead of the general landmark which usually is a single geometry or coding image. The paired-landmark method inherits general landmark methods' advantages of low-cost, high-efficiency and the ability of absolute positioning. And it also solves the problem of requiring too much different characteristic landmarks when handling large area navigation. The paired-landmark method has been verified by a real parameter simulation environment. Real flight experiment is also carried out to test the effectiveness and performance of the paired-landmark navigation method. It can be concluded that, besides achieved the expected positioning precision, the proposed system also reduced the consumption of calculation and memory space.
