Collecting Large-Scale Traffic Data with a Swarm of Drones

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Emmanouil Barmpounakis

The new era of “big data” requires going past the current conventional methods for gathering traffic information that until now depend either on fixed-area sensors or GPS devices. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or just "drones" have been proposed as a moder ...

Drone Shadow Tracking

Sabine Süsstrunk, Majed El Helou, Ruofan Zhou

Aerial videos taken by a drone not too far above the surface may contain the drone's shadow projected on the scene. This deteriorates the aesthetic quality of videos. With the presence of other shadows, shadow removal cannot be directly applied, and the sh ...
