Outdoor Environment Monitoring with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
نویسندگان
چکیده
This work addresses the problem of video surveillance of outdoor environments with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). Specifically it proposes a two-step approach, with an initial offline stage in which a mosaic of the zone to be monitored is built from video sequences. The second step tackles with the problem of online detection of relevant differences between the acquired images and the mosaic model. A GPSassisted approach is proposed to deal with efficiency issues in this online step. Experimental results prove that the proposed approach can be used to detect relevant changes in the specific case of road safety assurance in dangerous zones.

Collaborative Coordination and Control for an Implemented Heterogeneous Swarm of UAVs and UGVs
Over the last few years, cooperative autonomous systems have become a more popular solution for accomplishing tasks that are otherwise performed by human operators. Several strides have been made with homogeneous systems of vehicles in areas of localization, formation behaviors, path planning, task allocation, and vehicle controls. This paper describes both work completed and the future goals i...
متن کاملVision-Based Detection and Distance Estimation of Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Detection and distance estimation of micro unmanned aerial vehicles (mUAVs) is crucial for (i) the detection of intruder mUAVs in protected environments; (ii) sense and avoid purposes on mUAVs or on other aerial vehicles and (iii) multi-mUAV control scenarios, such as environmental monitoring, surveillance and exploration. In this article, we evaluate vision algorithms as alternatives for detec...
متن کاملA Hybrid Algorithm based on Deep Learning and Restricted Boltzmann Machine for Car Semantic Segmentation from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs)-based Thermal Infrared Images
Nowadays, ground vehicle monitoring (GVM) is one of the areas of application in the intelligent traffic control system using image processing methods. In this context, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles based on thermal infrared (UAV-TIR) images is one of the optimal options for GVM due to the suitable spatial resolution, cost-effective and low volume of images. The methods that have been prop...

متن کاملBehaviour recognition of ground vehicle using airborne monitoring of unmanned aerial vehicles
This paper proposes a behaviour recognition methodology for ground vehicles moving within road traffic using unmanned aerial vehicles in order to identify suspicious or abnormal behaviour. With the target information acquired by unmanned aerial vehicles and estimated by filtering techniques, ground vehicle behaviour is first classified into representative driving modes, and then a string patter...
