Photogrammetric Mission Planner for RPAS

Jan Skaloud, Martin Rehak, Florian Gandor

This paper presents a development of an open-source flight planning tool for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) that is dedicated to high-precision photogrammetric mapping. This tool contains planning functions that are usually available in professio ...

Drones InSecurity

This project is about testing the security of casual/commercial drones. For this, we tested drones from the company Parrot, but the conclusions apply to all drones based on WiFi controllers. To test drones security, the project was divided in two parts. Th ...

Audio-based Positioning and Target Localization for Swarms of Micro Aerial Vehicles

Meysam Basiri

Swarms of autonomous MAVs show great potential in many diverse applications. In a search and rescue mission, a group of MAVs could quickly reach disaster areas by flying over obstacles, cluttered and inaccessible terrains, and work in parallel to detect an ...

Privacy in Mini-drone Based Video Surveillance

Touradj Ebrahimi, Margherita Bonetto

Mini-drones are increasingly used in video surveillance. Their areal mobility and ability to carry video cameras provide new perspectives in visual surveillance which can impact privacy in ways that have not been considered in a typical surveillance scenar ...

Impact of Mini-drone based Video Surveillance on Invasion of Privacy

Touradj Ebrahimi, Margherita Bonetto

An increase in adoption of video surveillance, affecting many aspects of daily lives, raises public concern about an intrusion into individual privacy. New sensing and surveillance technologies, such as mini-drones, threaten to eradicate boundaries of priv ...

UAVs using Bayesian Optimization to LocateWiFi Devices

Bixio Rimoldi, Stefano Rosati, Mohammad Emtiyaz Khan, Mattia Carpin

We address the problem of localizing non-collaborative WiFi devices in a large region. Our main motive is to localize humans by localizing their WiFi devices, e.g. during search-and-rescue operations after a natural disaster. We use an active sensing appro ...

Very high-resolution digital elevation models for multi-scale analysis in landscape genomics (GENESCALE)

Stéphane Joost

At which spatial scale can selection be tracked? Very high-resolution environmental and genome-wide molecular characterization in Arabis alpina shall indicate if local adaptation acts locally or globally. Though termed local in the scientific jargon, adapt ...

Rule-level Data Plane Monitoring With Monocle

Dejan Kostic, Peter Peresini, Maciej Leszek Kuzniar

We present Monocle, a system that systematically monitors the network data plane, and verifies that it corresponds to the view that the SDN controller builds and tries to enforce in the switches. Our evaluation shows that Monocle is capable of fine-grained ...

Science, technology and the future of small autonomous drones

Dario Floreano

We are witnessing the advent of a new era of robots — drones — that can autonomously fly in natural and man-made environments. These robots, often associated with defence applications, could have a major impact on civilian tasks, including transportation, ...

MediaEval 2015 Drone Protect Task: Privacy Protection in Surveillance Systems Using False Coloring

Touradj Ebrahimi

In this paper, we share our results for privacy protection using false coloring in surveillance systems in the Drone Protect Task. The aim is obscuring sensitive regions that are privacy related without sacrificing intelligibility and pleasantness. The ide ...
