Quadcopter Drone with Face Recognition

Drones or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are often used to reach remote regions or areas inaccessible to humans. With a large field of view, remote control abilities, and compact size, drones are deemed suitable for monitoring disaster-hit areas or crowded and performing aerial surveillance. While research has focused on tracking, area monitoring and object detection, limited attention has been given to person identification, especially face recognition, using drones. In this research, we present a dataset intended to facilitate research for drone-based face recognition. For this segment, we provide videos with annotated face regions a high-resolution gallery image.
