Aerial survellance: from movie magic to terrain tracking, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have long been a hot topic in the aerospace industry. Now the two are supporting tomorrow's Aerial defence problems.

…in use with defence contractors, being deployed to solve many of tomorrow's aerial defence problems.

The move from movies to military defence may sound like a giant leap but technology built around image tracking has many proven capabilities which will be invaluable in defence scenarios. From mapping 3D terrain and tracking targets, to 3D positioning, zooming in on video and picking out detail from super resolution, as well as creating a mosaic of overlapping images to form 3D models, 2d3's software already tackles many of the same process that will provide solutions for many of the key challenges facing UAV imagery.

Currently it can cost in the region of Euro 220,000 to fit out UAVs with video equipment, yet the quality of the images captured is well below standard--on a par with cheap CCTV footage. When thousands of lives are at stake, you don't want to have overlooked an enemy convoy or misread a tank as a harmless rock.

Airborne surveillance is not only more flexible and of potentially better quality, it is also vastly cheaper than satelilite borne imagery. This form of imagery does not use up valuable payload on passengers and life-support, doesn't put an aircrew as risk and opens up the possibility of using much smaller aircraft, which…
