DroneFace: An Open Dataset for Drone Research
In this paper, we present DroneFace, an open dataset for testing how well face recognition can work on drones. Because of the high mobility, drones, i.e. unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are appropriate for surveillance, daily patrol or seeking lost people on the streets, and thus need the capability of tracking human targets’ faces from the air. Under this context, drones’ distances and height...
متن کاملAR-Drone as a Platform for Robotic Research and Education
This paper presents the AR-Drone quadrotor helicopter as a robotic platform usable for research and education. Apart from the description of hardware and software, we discuss several issues regarding drone equipment, abilities and performance. We show, how to perform basic tasks of position stabilization, object following and autonomous navigation. Moreover, we demonstrate the drone ability to ...
متن کاملAutonomous Drone
For our senior project we modified a quadcopter so that it can fly autonomously and land whenever a camera detects a red target. The quadcopter uses four infrared sensors to avoid obstacles and an off-board camera to detect targets. Whenever the camera sees a red target, it tells the quadcopter to land. Our project was mostly successful; we were not able to attach the camera to the quadcopter d...
متن کاملHits and misses: leveraging tDCS to advance cognitive research
The popularity of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in basic, commercial, and applied settings grew tremendously over the last decade. Here, we focus on one popular neurostimulation method: transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Many assumptions regarding the outcomes of tDCS are based on the results of stimulating motor cortex. For instance, the primary motor cortex is predict...
متن کاملTechnological Agency in the Co-Constitution of Legal Expertise and the US Drone Program
On 30 September 2011, the US citizen Anwar al-Awlaki was killed in Yemen in what has become the most controversial incident of US ‘targeted killing’, or, as its critics would prefer, of the US practice of ‘extrajudicial executions’. This controversy over wording expresses a profound disagreement over the legal status of the US drone program. Target killing suggests that the drone program may be...
