Abstract
The disclosure herein generally relate to scene change detection, and, more particularly, to use of Unmanned Vehicle (UV) to inspect a scene and perform a scene change detection using UVs. When a UV performs visual inspection of an area or an object, due to various factors, such as but not limited to environmental factors, and movement of object and/or the UV, image of the area/object captured by the drone lacks clarity, which in turn makes detection of any object a difficult task. The UV disclosed herein uses a multi scale super pixel technique for visual change detection, in order to solve the aforementioned issues. In an embodiment, the UV captures an image, identifies a reference image that matches the captured image, and generates a change map. The multi-scale super pixel analysis is then performed on this change map to detect changes between the captured image and the reference image.
