Researchers have developed a new pipeline to convert monocular UAV traffic video into a bird's-eye-view (BEV) representation. This method uses visible road geometry, such as lane markings, to estimate a homography that maps image coordinates to metric ground-plane coordinates. The system can then project vehicle observations into BEV, enabling the estimation of vehicle direction, speed, and dynamic 3D cuboids, which supports traffic analytics and the creation of digital-twin systems.
