SURVEY OF VIDEO STREAMING GRABBING METHODS IN REAL TIME FOR UAV MOVEMENT CONTROL

This paper presents a comparison of different real time image grabbing methods using fire wire interface from HDV Sony camera. The techniques are designed to run in real-time using off-the-shelf hardware for use on an unmanned vehicle – helicopter. Our methodology is to know the limitations of the streaming grabbing because in further implementation we have to quickly detect candidate locations using our target localization methods which of course use the CPU time. The proposed techniques have been tested on a set of imagery from a live – test range with outstanding results.
