Drones learned how to make movies on their own October 23, 2019 | 10:50 / Interesting information

Исследователи из Университета Карнеги-Меллона доработали дрон Skydio, который может автономно отслеживать владельца и самостоятельно лететь за ним. Теперь устройство может снимать ролики так же, как это делают профессиональные кинооператоры. 

The main task of an autonomous drone that flies after the user and removes him from the air is safety. Often, despite the fact that drones can keep the target in the frame, they begin to fly around dangerous places - for example, branches or wires, which leads to a decrease in the quality of the captured material.

University engineers introduced several lidars into the drone to map the terrain in 3D, and also developed a neural network that can predict the necessary flight path in advance taking into account the terrain.

Potentially, such systems will make filming more accessible even without access to huge budgets.

Potentially, this system can be used not only for shooting movies, but also for search and rescue operations or remote monitoring.
