In the past decade Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have become a topic of interest in
many research organizations. UAVs are finding applications in various areas ranging from …

Visual surveillance in the maritime domain has been explored for more than a decade.
Although it has produced a number of working systems and resulted in a mature technology …

Nowadays, complex image processing algorithms are a necessity to make UAVs more
autonomous. Currently, the processing of images of the on-board camera is often performed …

In this work, we propose a method for estimating depth for an image of a monocular camera
in order to avoid a collision for the autonomous flight of a drone. The highest flight speed of a …

Autonomous vehicles have found wide-ranging adoption in aerospace, terrestrial as well as
marine use. These systems often operate in uncertain environments and in the presence of …

An aircraft that is capable of continuous flight offers a new level of autonomous capacity for
unmanned aerial vehicles. We present an overview of the components and concepts of a …

Detecting a horizon in an image is an important part of many image related applications
such as detecting ships on the horizon, flight control, and port security. Most of the existing …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are excellent platforms for detecting and tracking objects
of interest on or near the ground due to their vantage point and freedom of movement. This …

This paper proposes a taxonomy of conflict detection and resolution (CD&R) approaches for
operating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in an integrated airspace. Possible approaches …

A novel thin line detection algorithm for use in low-altitude aerial vehicles is presented. This
algorithm is able to detect thin obstacles such as cables, power lines, and wires. The system …
