Flying Services with the Drone

Explore the emerging world of flying services in this 46-minute conference talk by Krzysztof Kudrynski and Blazej Kubiak at Devoxx. Discover how to create a drone that responds to map-level commands, revealing terrain and creating a coherent map as it flies. Learn about the high-level technology, innovative ideas, and scientific challenges involved in developing a successful prototype. Gain insights into video processing, accelerometer data control, and localization using particle filtering algorithms. Watch demonstration videos and understand the potential applications for remote mapping, from the Moon to your living room. Benefit from the expertise of Kudrynski, a problem-solver experienced in algorithm design and machine learning, and Kubiak, an enthusiast of big data processing with a background in image and laser data processing, including automated traffic sign detection and bird-eye image mosaic creation.
