Drone Cinematography System Design and New Guideline Model for Scene Objects Interaction

Abstract

A small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) aircraft with an attached camera is a tool for cinematographers rapidly became popular. Nowadays, robotic cinematography technologies allow users to create precise aerial filming plans by intuitively placing keyframes in the 3D world. However, aerial filming in action scenes is difficult due to understanding the dynamic scenarios and operating the quadrotor and camera simultaneously in the dependence of the scenarios.The paper proposes a complex program system that allows generating trajectory of the quadrotor according to cinematographic aspects, to simulate a flight in a virtual environment and to perform the flight in real-world scenarios. Moreover, the paper considers a new guideline model for drone camera and scene object interactions in real-world scenarios.
