This paper considers the self-localization of a tethered drone without using a cable-tension
force sensor in GPS-denied environments. The original problem is converted to a state …

This paper presents a competition-based active learning approach that prepares
undergraduate students for careers in the drone industry. The competition-based learning …

In order to estimate the intrinsic and extrinsic parameters of a camera, the geometric
calibration method for a camera is required to map 3D world coordinate points onto 2D …

The exponential growth in the adoption of drones in various industrial applications has
created a demand for professionals experienced in designing, programming, operating, and …

Locating drones in GPS-denied environments is a challenging task, particularly for hardware
platforms with limited computational resources and sensors. A common approach for …

Tracking the moving objects in a video sequence is a critical problem in wide area airborne
surveillance systems due to its cyber-physical nature. The large amount of imagery data …

The process of geometric camera calibration for long-wave infrared (LWIR) camera is
essential for determining the camera's intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, which maps 3D …

Today Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) have found widespread use and may have been
using them to capture various events or take photographs of operational areas; but the fact is …

The following paper presents a benchmarking study of the performance of thirty state of the
art background subtraction algorithms. In this work, we test the performance of multiple …

Surveillance using aerial systems provides a different angle of monitoring, maintain security
or locate wanted targets. The imaging data is live streamed to the ground using different …
