Drones, or general UAVs, equipped with a single camera have been widely deployed to a broad range of applications, such as aerial photography, fast goods delivery and most importantly, surveillance. Despite the great progress achieved in computer vision algorithms, these algorithms are not usually optimized for dealing with images or video sequences acquired by drones, due to various challenges such as occlusion, fast camera motion and pose variation. In this paper, a drone-based multi-object tracking and 3D localization scheme is proposed based on the deep learning based object detection. We first combine a multi-object tracking method called TrackletNet Tracker (TNT) which utilizes temporal and appearance information to track detected objects located on the ground for UAV applications. Then, we are also able to localize the tracked ground objects based on the group plane estimated from the Multi-View Stereo technique. The system deployed on the drone can not only detect and track the objects in a scene, but can also localize their 3D coordinates in meters with respect to the drone camera. The experiments have proved our tracker can reliably handle most of the detected objects captured by drones and achieve favorable 3D localization performance when compared with the state-of-the-art methods.

Drone equipped with cameras can dynamically track the target in the air from a broader view compared with static cameras or moving sensors over the ground. However, it is still challenging to accurately track the target using a single drone due to se
veral factors such as appearance variations and severe occlusions. In this paper, we collect a new Multi-Drone single Object Tracking (MDOT) dataset that consists of 92 groups of video clips with 113,918 high resolution frames taken by two drones and 63 groups of video clips with 145,875 high resolution frames taken by three drones. Besides, two evaluation metrics are specially designed for multi-drone single object tracking, i.e. automatic fusion score (AFS) and ideal fusion score (IFS). Moreover, an agent sharing network (ASNet) is proposed by self-supervised template sharing and view-aware fusion of the target from multiple drones, which can improve the tracking accuracy significantly compared with single drone tracking. Extensive experiments on MDOT show that our ASNet significantly outperforms recent state-of-the-art trackers.
Recent advances in bioimaging have provided scientists a superior high spatial-temporal resolution to observe dynamics of living cells as 3D volumetric videos. Unfortunately, the 3D biomedical video analysis is lagging, impeded by resource insensitiv
e human curation using off-the-shelf 3D analytic tools. Herein, biologists often need to discard a considerable amount of rich 3D spatial information by compromising on 2D analysis via maximum intensity projection. Recently, pixel embedding-based cell instance segmentation and tracking provided a neat and generalizable computing paradigm for understanding cellular dynamics. In this work, we propose a novel spatial-temporal voxel-embedding (VoxelEmbed) based learning method to perform simultaneous cell instance segmenting and tracking on 3D volumetric video sequences. Our contribution is in four-fold: (1) The proposed voxel embedding generalizes the pixel embedding with 3D context information; (2) Present a simple multi-stream learning approach that allows effective spatial-temporal embedding; (3) Accomplished an end-to-end framework for one-stage 3D cell instance segmentation and tracking without heavy parameter tuning; (4) The proposed 3D quantification is memory efficient via a single GPU with 12 GB memory. We evaluate our VoxelEmbed method on four 3D datasets (with different cell types) from the ISBI Cell Tracking Challenge. The proposed VoxelEmbed method achieved consistent superior overall performance (OP) on two densely annotated datasets. The performance is also competitive on two sparsely annotated cohorts with 20.6% and 2% of data-set having segmentation annotations. The results demonstrate that the VoxelEmbed method is a generalizable and memory-efficient solution.
This paper proposes a space-time multi-scale attention network (STANet) to solve density map estimation, localization and tracking in dense crowds of video clips captured by drones with arbitrary crowd density, perspective, and flight altitude. Our S
TANet method aggregates multi-scale feature maps in sequential frames to exploit the temporal coherency, and then predict the density maps, localize the targets, and associate them in crowds simultaneously. A coarse-to-fine process is designed to gradually apply the attention module on the aggregated multi-scale feature maps to enforce the network to exploit the discriminative space-time features for better performance. The whole network is trained in an end-to-end manner with the multi-task loss, formed by three terms, i.e., the density map loss, localization loss and association loss. The non-maximal suppression followed by the min-cost flow framework is used to generate the trajectories of targets in scenarios. Since existing crowd counting datasets merely focus on crowd counting in static cameras rather than density map estimation, counting and tracking in crowds on drones, we have collected a new large-scale drone-based dataset, DroneCrowd, formed by 112 video clips with 33,600 high resolution frames (i.e., 1920x1080) captured in 70 different scenarios. With intensive amount of effort, our dataset provides 20,800 people trajectories with 4.8 million head annotations and several video-level attributes in sequences. Extensive experiments are conducted on two challenging public datasets, i.e., Shanghaitech and UCF-QNRF, and our DroneCrowd, to demonstrate that STANet achieves favorable performance against the state-of-the-arts.

For dealing with traffic bottlenecks at airports, aircraft object detection is insufficient. Every airport generally has a variety of planes with various physical and technological requirements as well as diverse service requirements. Detecting the p
resence of new planes will not address all traffic congestion issues. Identifying the type of airplane, on the other hand, will entirely fix the problem because it will offer important information about the planes technical specifications (i.e., the time it needs to be served and its appropriate place in the airport). Several studies have provided various contributions to address airport traffic jams; however, their ultimate goal was to determine the existence of airplane objects. This paper provides a practical approach to identify the type of airplane in airports depending on the results provided by the airplane detection process using mask region convolution neural network. The key feature employed to identify the type of airplane is the surface area calculated based on the results of airplane detection. The surface area is used to assess the estimated cabin length which is considered as an additional key feature for identifying the airplane type. The length of any detected plane may be calculated by measuring the distance between the detected planes two furthest points. The suggested approachs performance is assessed using average accuracies and a confusion matrix. The findings show that this method is dependable. This method will greatly aid in the management of airport traffic congestion.
Geo-localizing static objects from street images is challenging but also very important for road asset mapping and autonomous driving. In this paper we present a two-stage framework that detects and geolocalizes traffic signs from low frame rate stre
et videos. Our proposed system uses a modified version of RetinaNet (GPS-RetinaNet), which predicts a positional offset for each sign relative to the camera, in addition to performing the standard classification and bounding box regression. Candidate sign detections from GPS-RetinaNet are condensed into geolocalized signs by our custom tracker, which consists of a learned metric network and a variant of the Hungarian Algorithm. Our metric network estimates the similarity between pairs of detections, then the Hungarian Algorithm matches detections across images using the similarity scores provided by the metric network. Our models were trained using an updated version of the ARTS dataset, which contains 25,544 images and 47.589 sign annotations ~cite{arts}. The proposed dataset covers a diverse set of environments gathered from a broad selection of roads. Each annotaiton contains a sign class label, its geospatial location, an assembly label, a side of road indicator, and unique identifiers that aid in the evaluation. This dataset will support future progress in the field, and the proposed system demonstrates how to take advantage of some of the unique characteristics of a realistic geolocalization dataset.
