Abstract :
Advantages in the application of intelligent approaches, such as the conjunction of artificial vision and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), have been recently emerging. This paper presents a system capable of detecting ground vehicles through aerial images taken by a UAV in real time. In addition, the system offers the possibility to autonomously guide the UAV to keep track of a vehicle that has been previously detected.
