Abstract:The presence of foliage is a serious problem for target detection with drones in application fields such as search and rescue, surveillance, early wildfire detection, or wildlife observation. Visual as well as automatic computational methods, such as classification and anomaly detection, fail in the presence of strong occlusion. Previous research has shown that both benefit from integrating multi-perspective images recorded over a wide synthetic aperture to suppress occlusion. In particular, commonly applied a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
