PDI para o Monitoramento de Rodovias com Imagens Aéreas Obtidas por VANT

Aerial images can provide important information for highway management. This paper presents the use of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in remote sensing of highways, acquiring aerial images, and algorithms that process the images and extract specific parameters. The highway monitoring through aerial images provides a large scan area with reduced time. Through these images it is possible to analyze the traffic information, signalizing, imperfections in the highway and infrastructure management. The presented results demonstrate the viability in applying the image processing algorithms to extract and recognize points of interest on a highway.
