An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) has many applications in a variety of fields. Detection
and tracking of a specific road in UAV videos play an important role in automatic UAV …

We present the adaptation of an optimal terrain coverage algorithm for the aerial robotics
domain. The general strategy involves computing a trajectory through a known environment …

Area coverage with an onboard sensor is an important task for an unmanned aerial vehicle
(UAV) with many applications. Autonomous fixed-wing UAVs are more appropriate for larger …

Automatic detection of road regions in aerial images remains a challenging research topic.
Most existing approaches work well on the requirement of users to provide some seedlike …

We are interested in enhancing the efficiency of human–robot collaborations, especially in
“supervisor-worker” settings where autonomous robots work under the supervision of a …

A hybrid model-based and data-driven framework is proposed in this paper for autonomous
coastline surveillance using an unmanned aerial vehicle. The proposed approach …

In this paper, a control strategy is developed for tracking the propagation of an expanding
flood zone by using a group of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The strategy consists of …

We describe a model of “trust” in human-robot systems that is inferred from their interactions,
and inspired by similar concepts relating to trust among humans. This computable quantity …

This paper proposes a model for water detection in video sequences, which is a key asset of
any robot operating in natural environments. By searching the visual input for the waters …

This is a study on the development of a road following vision-based guidance system for
unmanned air vehicles (UAV) in real world applications. Currently, autonomous navigation …
