Development of a free viewpoint pedestrian recognition system using deep learning for multipurpose flying drone

Abstract

This paper describes the development of 3-D human recognition system of flying drone system for emergency rescue and investigation. In this system, deep neural network and its application for 3-D object recognition are key techniques for human detection from a free viewpoint. Some appearance based characteristics are captured as movie frames, and the system uses deep neural networks to automatically classify concerned object. The proposed system performs well that many kinds of views of personnels can be recognized from bird's-eye view. Experimental results show that the system can effectively recognize human objects with high accuracy.
