The main objective of this paper is to determine the position of the target using geo registration technique with an onboard camera, in real time. The position estimation of the target is carried out with different algorithms or techniques; one of the algorithms is RANSAC feature detection. The benefits and the disadvantages of the algorithm are presented. The present approach of position estimation of the target is an alternative to commonly used INS/GPS approach. Vision based navigation uses a camera onboard to continuously transmit the aerial video to the ground control station (GCS) and the position of the target is determined using geo reference images such as those obtained from Google Earth.
