However, the shooting process currently rely on manual control of the drones which makes it difficult and sometimes inconvenient to work with. In this paper we address the lack of autonomous system to operate generic rotary-wing drones for shooting purposes. We propose a global control architecture based on a high-level generic API used by many UAV. Our solution integrates a compound and coupled model of a generic rotary-wing drone and a Full State Feedback strategy. To address the specific task of capturing cinema scenes, we combine the control architecture with an automatic camera path planning approach that encompass cinematographic techniques. The possibilities offered by our system are demonstrated through a series of experiments.","PeriodicalId":383701,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications for Civilian Use","volume":"70 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124603436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Spurred by recent advances in Micro or Nano aerial vehicles (MAVs and NAVs) of various forms, aerial networking is emerging as a necessary means to control those systems remotely, enable novel real-time applications with them, or even enable fleets of multiple UAVs that need to coordinate their activities. \u0000 \u0000DroNet 2015 features papers dealing with system aspects and experimental results, summaries of challenges or advancements, measurements, or innovative applications, bringing together many views and a broad range of knowledge related to aerial networking. We hope this first edition will establish DroNet as a forum presenting late breaking research results and experience reports on important topics related to aerial networking. DroNet 2015 already gives researchers a unique opportunity to share their views and results with others interested in the various aspects of this very exciting yet broad area. \u0000 \u000020 papers were submitted, from which 8 were accepted as full papers (40% acceptance rate). The program also includes one keynote presentation by Prof. David Grace entitled \"Aerial Platform based Wireless Communications - Will the Myth now become Reality?\" and a poster track chaired by Dr. Domenico Giustiniano (IMDEA Networks Institute) which consists of 4 poster papers. We will conclude with a discussion about the future of the workshop and give an outlook on key challenges and research directions. We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for both researchers and practitioners.","PeriodicalId":383701,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Micro Aerial Vehicle Networks, Systems, and Applications for Civilian Use","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129156276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
