• Abstract: This paper introduces a novel approach to video object detection detection and tracking on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). By incorporating metadata, the proposed approach creates a memory map of object locations in actual world coordinates, providing a more robust and interpretable representation of object locations in both, image space and the real world. We use this representation to boost confidences, resulting in improved performance for several temporal computer vision tasks, such as video object detection, short and long-term single and multi-object tracking, and video anomaly detection. These findings confirm the benefits of metadata in enhancing the capabilities of UAVs in the field of temporal computer vision and pave the way for further advancements in this area.

  Multiple object tracking (MOT) in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) videos is important for diverse applications in computer vision. We propose a novel Spatio-Temporal Cohesion Multiple Object Tracking framework (STCMOT) We use historical embedding features to model the representation of ReID and detection features in a sequential order. Our framework sets a new state-of-the-art performance in MOTA and IDF1 metrics.

  Multiple object tracking (MOT) has been successfully investigated in computer vision. However, MOT for the videos captured by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) is still challenging due to small object size, blurred object appearance, and very large and/or irregular motion. We propose FOLT to mitigate these problems and reach fast and accurate MOT in UAV view.

  Two popular voxel-based 3D object detection methods are studied in this paper. Our experiments show that these methods mostly fail to detect distant small objects due to the sparsity of the input point clouds at large distances. Our findings suggest that a considerable part of the computations of existing methods is focused on locations of the scene that do not contribute with successful detection.
