Drone-Based Video People & Vehicle Detection
Turn your drone footage into real-time people and vehicle intelligence—enhancing situational awareness where manual tracking falls short
Drone-Based Video People & Vehicle Detection
We offer standard and FREE drone-based people & vehicle detection algorithms within a visionplatform.ai license.
If you are looking for detection on aerial footage, be aware of the accuracy levels of standard products. An algorithm is only as good as the data it’s trained on compared to the similarity of your own drone footage! We know from experience this is very challenging—and that’s why most out-of-the-box models underperform. They might detect a car on a highway, but miss a person in a crowd or confuse a bicycle with a motorcycle from above.
In visionplatform.ai you take our outstanding drone detection algorithm—trained to recognize awning tricycle, bicycle, bus, car, motor, pedestrian, people, tricycle, truck, and van. Whether you’re monitoring traffic, public gatherings, or construction zones, our model gives you the aerial visibility you need.
While retraining is rarely required, the option is there. If you want to improve detection in your specific environment or lighting conditions, just upload your footage, retrain the model, and redeploy—all directly within the platform.
And if you need to go further? You can build on top of our model. Want to detect something specific like construction machinery or emergency vehicles? No problem—just add your custom labels, train your dataset, and push the new model live with a few clicks.
Drone-Based Video People & Vehicle Detection

autonomous perimeter protection
Traditional fixed cameras can’t cover everything—especially over large, open areas. With drones (including drone-in-a-box systems), visionplatform.ai enables autonomous patrols that detect people and vehicles in real-time. Perfect for securing critical infrastructure, ports, industrial zones, or borders where gaps in surveillance leave you vulnerable.

enhanced situational awareness for public safety
Whether you’re managing a protest, a large-scale incident, or a natural disaster—seeing the full picture is critical. Our drone-based detection algorithm turns live aerial footage into structured insights: detect vehicles, pedestrians, and crowd movement instantly. Trusted by police, fire departments, customs, and coast guards to make faster, more informed decisions when it matters most.

border monitoring and tactical response
Drones offer unmatched mobility in hard-to-reach or high-risk zones. With visionplatform.ai, every frame from above is scanned in real time for people, vehicles, motorcycles, vans, buses, trucks, and more. Ideal for military operations, covert surveillance, or tactical deployments where fast detection of moving objects is essential.

aerial analytics for infrastructure and mobility
For transport authorities or utility companies, aerial video isn’t just about security—it’s about insights. visionplatform.ai helps you analyze traffic density, detect unauthorized access, or monitor movement patterns across construction sites, pipelines, or highways. All powered by the same drone feed you’re already collecting.

crowd and event monitoring from above
Large gatherings are hard to manage from the ground. With visionplatform.ai, drones become flying sensors—detecting people density, vehicle buildup, or suspicious activity in real time. Use it for stadiums, parades, public demonstrations, or festivals to enhance response time and coordination across teams.

automated patrols with drone-in-a-box systems
Pair our detection algorithm with autonomous drone boxes for a fully automated perimeter monitoring setup. Drones launch, patrol, detect intrusions (like vehicles or people), and return to charge—all while visionplatform.ai analyzes the feed and alerts your team in real time. Smart, scalable, and completely hands-free.
