Real-Time Embedded Computer Vision on UAVs - UAVision2018 Workshop Summary

Kristof Van Beeck, Tinne Tuytelaars, Davide Scarramuza, Toon Goedemé

Abstract: In this paper we present an overview of the contributed work presented at the UAVision2018 ECCV workshop. This workshop focused on real-time image processing on-board of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). For such applications the computational complexity of state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms often conflicts with the need for real-time operation and the extreme resource limitations of the hardware. Apart from a summary of the accepted workshop papers, this work also aims to identify common challenges and concerns which were addressed by multiple authors during the workshop, and their proposed solutions.
