New system enables real-time aerial person tracking on low-power hardware

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a novel system called EMTS-Det for real-time aerial person tracking on low-power hardware. This five-stage system estimates ego-motion, normalizes frame data, and uses a small, efficient network to detect and track individuals. The system achieves significantly higher frame rates and accuracy on resource-constrained devices like the Raspberry Pi Zero 2W compared to standard models like YOLOv8n, demonstrating its effectiveness in challenging real-world UAV video scenarios.

IMPACT Enables real-time AI-powered tracking on low-power drones, potentially for surveillance or autonomous navigation.

    Moving Like a Human: Ego-Motion-Normalized Temporal Signatures for Real-Time Aerial Person Tracking on Milliwatt-Class Hardware

    arXiv:2607.16282v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Follow-me person tracking must run on the drone itself, where affordable companion computers offer only a few effective int8 GFLOP/s. At typical follow distances a person spans 10-60 pixels, indistinguishable from clutter and beyond…
