The aim is to create reliable and verifiable fault detection software to detect abrupt changes in safety-critical dynamic systems. Fault detection methods are implemented as software on digital computers that monitor and control the system.…

Quadcopters have been studied for decades thanks to their maneuverability and capability of operating in a variety of circumstances. However, quadcopters suffer from dynamical nonlinearity, actuator saturation, as well as sensor noise that…

Temporal contexts among consecutive frames are far from being fully utilized in existing visual trackers. In this work, we present TCTrack, a comprehensive framework to fully exploit temporal contexts for aerial tracking. The temporal…
