A multiple-UAV architecture for autonomous media production

Cinematography with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is an emerging technology promising to revolutionize media production. On the one hand, manually controlled drones already provide advantages, such as flexible shot setup, opportunities for novel types and access difficult-to-reach spaces and/or viewpoints. Moreover, little additional ground infrastructure required. other enhanced UAV cognitive autonomy would allow both easier cinematography planning (from Director’s perspective) safer execution of that plan during actual filming; while integrating multiple UAVs can additionally augment cinematic potential. In this paper, a multiple-UAV software/hardware architecture production in outdoor settings proposed. The encompasses mission control under safety constraints, through visual analysis, human-computer interfaces communication platform scalability Quality-of-Service provisions. Finally, demonstrated via relevant subjective study on adequacy camera parameters different types, well field experiments where film sports events.
