Novel tracking system using unmanned aerial vehicles

摘要

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of tracking persons and objects and capturing video, still images and other data in real time of the same. The present disclosure includes an unmanned aerial vehicle (e.g., UAV) which follows a trackable system coupled to an object or on individual's person. The UAV may have a camera component which may record video, still images and other data (position, speed, acceleration, cadence, etc.) of the trackable system and items in close proximity thereto. Advantageously, the UAV may transmit video feeds and still images to a monitoring station or device such that security personnel and other persons of interest can respond timely to unplanned incidents and emergencies. In one or more implementations, a network of UAVs may fly alongside each other to capture video of multiple targets without causing collisions.
