Introduction

Autonomous navigation in UAVs has reached new heights, primarily due to advancements in AI, computer vision, and edge computing. Computer vision in drone technology refers to the capability of drones to interpret and interact with their environment. It powers critical functions like object detection, classification, and tracking while the drone is airborne. Drones can identify the best routes, avoid obstacles, and reach destinations faster by autonomously analyzing data, making them indispensable in time-sensitive situations. Advances in computer vision enable drones to effectively perform surveillance and security tasks.

Objective

Computer Vision and Edge Computing Technologies for the Drone Industry offer the synergy between artificial intelligence and a computer vision platform. The incorporation of AI in drones also entails the use of sophisticated learning algorithms, further refining their detection and tracking capabilities.  UAVs leverage artificial intelligence for improved aerial navigation, boosting their efficiency in tasks like mapping, monitoring, and cybersecurity measurements. This evolution represents a significant leap in drone data technology, marking a new era of autonomous and intelligent aerial solutions.
