Popis: The use of UAVs in media production has taken off during the past few years, with increasingly more functions becoming automated. However, current solutions leave a lot to be desired with regard to autonomy and drone fleet support. This paper presents a novel, complete software architecture suited to an intelligent, multiple-UAV platform for media production/cinematography applications, covering outdoor events (e.g., sports) typically distributed over large expanses. Increased multiple drone decisional autonomy, so as to minimize production crew load, and improved multiple drone robustness/safety mechanisms (e.g., regarding communications, flight regulation compliance, crowd avoidance and emergency landing mechanisms) are supported. publishersversion published
