Tracking People in Video Captured from a Drone
This thesis deals with the problem of determining the location of a person and its approximation. The location is derived from video which is captured using a drone. The goal here is to propose and test existing solutions and state-of-the-art algorithms for each encountered subproblem. This means overcoming challenges such as object detection, re-identification of persons in time, estimating object distance from camera and processing data from various sensors. Then, I am using the methods to design the final solution which can operate in nearly real-time. Implementation is based on the use of Intel NCS accelerator unit with the cooperation of small computer Raspberry Pi. Therefore, the setup may be easily mounted directly to a drone. The resulting application can generate tracking metadata for detected individuals in the recording. Afterwards, the positions are visualised as paths for better end-user presentation.
