An Efficient UAV-based Artificial Intelligence Framework for Real-Time Visual Tasks
Modern Unmanned Aerial Vehicles equipped with state of the art artificial
intelligence (AI) technologies are opening to a wide plethora of novel and
interesting applications. While this field received a strong impact from the
recent AI breakthroughs, most of the provided solutions either entirely rely on
commercial software or provide a weak integration interface which denies the
development of additional techniques. This leads us to propose a novel and
efficient framework for the UAV-AI joint technology. Intelligent UAV systems
encounter complex challenges to be tackled without human control. One of these
complex challenges is to be able to carry out computer vision tasks in
real-time use cases. In this paper we focus on this challenge and introduce a
multi-layer AI (MLAI) framework to allow easy integration of ad-hoc
visual-based AI applications. To show its features and its advantages, we
implemented and evaluated different modern visual-based deep learning models
for object detection, target tracking and target handover
