In this work we investigate the problem of matching images, captured by UAV, with the map of riparian territories with no use of sattelite navigation. The basis of our method is representation of the image by colourtexture segmentation as a bunch of segments. Then we are trying to recover a geometric transformation which matches segments and map. This transformation consists of arbitrary translation, but restricted rotation and scale. Calculation of transform parameters is based on RANSAC algorithm, which matches image segments with contours on map. For conducting this matching we use local shape descriptors, invariant to rotation and scaling.

Key words: aerial images, geolocalisation, colour segmentation, texture segmentation, contours matching, RANSAC
