  Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, otherwise known as drones, necessitate the execution of two artificial intelligence tasks while tracking arbitrary objects: (i) the detection and tracking of the target visual and (ii) the corresponding control of the drone movement. These tasks are known to require substantial computing power; however, due to the physical limitations of small-sized drones in their accessibility to computing hardware, it is often practically impossible to execute the said tasks in a satisfactory manner. Cloud offloading could alleviate such a problem, but it incurs a cost in the form of network delay. This paper thus presents a comparative analysis between the resource-poor drone setting and the resource-rich, network-delayed cloud setting in their accomplishment of an object tracking mission. Through this analysis, we quantify the drone-based system"s tracking performance achievable with existing technology, and also derive the anticipated requirements for computing resources and communication networks for a better accommodation of AI-related services based on drones.
