Remotely sensed data using aerial video can be used to enhance existing methods and therefore to improve traffic surveillance. Traditional monitoring devices such as loop detectors, surveillance video cameras and microware sensors are usually placed at fixed locations to achieve a fixed surveillance coverage range. Aerial monitoring has helped the traffic planners and commuters to yield detailed information. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are gaining popularity in traffic monitoring due to their low cost, high flexibility, and wide view range. The purpose of this technical report is to provide a survey of research, related to the application of UAV videos for traffic management.
