contents This paper proposes an image-based visual servoing (IBVS) framework for UAV navigation and collision avoidance using only an RGB camera. While UAV navigation has been extensively studied, it remains challenging to apply IBVS in missions involving multiple visual targets and collision avoidance. The proposed method achieves navigation without explicit path planning, and collision avoidance is realized through AI-based monocular depth estimation from RGB images. Unlike approaches that rely on stereo cameras or external workstations, our framework runs fully onboard a Jetson platform, ensuring a self-contained and deployable system. Experimental results validate that the UAV can navigate across multiple AprilTags and avoid obstacles effectively in GPS-denied environments.
