Small-Target Detection and Observation with Vision-Enabled Fixed-Wing Unmanned Aircraft Systems

This thesis focuses on vision-based detection and observation of small, slow-moving targets using a gimballed fixed-wing unmanned aircraft system (UAS). Generally, visual tracking algorithms are tuned to detect motion of relatively large objects in the scene with noticeably significant motion; there...
