Tracking bees - a 3D, outdoor small object environment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The automatic tracking ofbees while pollinating macadamia trees is important for the understanding of reproductive biology and fruit yield. We present techniques for tracking these small targets in an uncontrolled illumination environment and where the background is not fixed. Our results indicate we can tack, based on color, bees moving in 3D in paths over 3s long (72 frames).

Outdoor 3D Acquisition System for Small and Fast Targets. Application to honeybee monitoring at the beehive entrance
In response to recent biologists needs, we propose to lay the foundations of a stereo vision-based system for monitoring honeybees in 3D at the beehive entrance. In this context, this article highlights difficulties and introduces some solutions for problems related to the detection of the bees and tracking them in 3D under uncontrolled conditions. This study is a prerequisite for our next step...
متن کاملA FEASIBILITY STUDY ON USING ViSP’S 3D MODEL-BASED TRACKER FOR UAV POSE ESTIMATION IN OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTS
This paper presents a novel application of the Visual Servoing Platform’s (ViSP) for small UAV pose estimation in outdoor environments. Given an initial approximation for the camera position and orientation, or camera pose, ViSP automatically establishes and continuously tracks corresponding features between an image sequence and a 3D wireframe model of the environment. As ViSP has been demonst...
متن کاملTracking with Omni-Directional Vision for Outdoor AR Systems
Most pose (3D position and 3D orientation) tracking methods using vision require a priori knowledge about the environment and correspondences between 3D environment features and 2D images. This environmental information is difficult to acquire accurately for large working volumes or may not be available at all, especially for outdoor environments. As a result, most pose tracking methods using v...
