Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAV), more commonly known as drones, are widely used by military and civilian applications. They can be used for remote sensing, transportation, scientific research, armed attacks, search, and rescue. They can be used in applications where human presence is dangerous. Drones could be equipped with cameras, sensors, communications equipment, and weapons. UAVs can be pil...

Despite recent advances in the visual tracking community, most studies so far have focused on the observation model. As another important component in the tracking system, the motion model is much less well-explored especially for some extreme scenarios. In this paper, we consider one such scenario in which the camera is mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone. We build a benchmark...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), commonly known as drones, have many potential uses in real world applications. Drones require advanced planning and navigation algorithms to enable them to safely move through and interact with the world around them. This paper presents an extended potential field controller (ePFC) which enables an aerial robot, or drone, to safely track a dynamic target location...

Debugging control software for Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAV) can be risky out of the simulator, especially with professional drones that might harm people around or result in a high bill after a crash. We have designed a framework that enables a software application to communicate with multiple MAVs from a single unified interface. In this way, visual controllers can be first tested on a low-cost...

Present-day research on autono up against a serious problem, w always been faced from the v obstacles. The ground-observa “drones” are sent require the patterns of ground relief. In th Air Vehicles (UAV) and Micr drones, the eyes and brain of th by an on-board processing syste through even the most cluttered winged insects are particular flying machines that can serve a micro-robots of the futu...

The article is the product of "Drones in agriculture 4.0" project, drone technology allows strengthening development different processes, especially agriculture, for this reason an investigation carried out order to use a that identifying pests affect forages (grass crops). For research there will be phases such as process review and exploration technology, verification selection image processi...

We present a mixed-initiative planning and execution system for human multi-drones interaction during search and rescue missions. The proposed system should allow a single operator to supervise and orchestrate the operations of a set of UAVs by means of a natural multimodal communication. In particular, we consider the task of searching for missing persons in a realworld alpine scenario. In thi...
