Abstract :
There were many researches on UAVs, and in our case, we implemented a real-time tracking system with the camera on a VTOL UAV based on our tracking algorithm called BOM (Binary Outline Matching Method) which was different from CAMSHIFT [1] or optical flow [2]. The UAV with our system could follow an object or track a specified path based on the object tracking algorithm and PID flight control.
