Workshop on Applications for Aerial Video Exploitation (WAVE 2015)

This workshop will provide a forum to discuss the research and development of next-generation applications for aerial and overhead video, a significant imaging modality. Unmanned aerial vehicles are poised for widespread commercial use, creating the potential for a huge market for aerial video applications. Google’s recent purchase of Skybox, a provider of HD video from space, further confirms the growing importance of this type of imaging. Quadcopters with on-board video capabilities have become inexpensive enough to not only be utilized regularly by law enforcement but also enough to drive a booming hobbyist market. Aerial and overhead video will be undergoing large growth in the coming years, driving research and novel application development.
