Abstract
This paper presents the current status of the development of our autonomous blimp project. Details are given on the hardware setup, which is currently almost operational. Some first experimental results on terrain mapping with low altitude stereo imagery are presented and discussed. The approach involves the integration of several algorithms: stereovision, interest point matching, motion estimation and digital elevation map building.
