In this paper, we present a novel visual servoing (VS) approach based on latent Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs), that explores the application of generative models for vision-based navigation of UAVs (Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles). Opposite to classical VS methods, the proposed approach allows reaching the desired target view, even when the target is initially not visible. This is possible thanks to the learning of a latent representation that the DDPM uses for planning and a dataset of trajectories encompassing target-invisible initial views. A compact representation is learned from raw images using a Cross-Modal Variational Autoencoder. Given the current image, the DDPM generates trajectories in the latent space driving the robotic platform to the desired visual target. The approach has been validated in simulation using two generic multi-rotor UAVs (a quadrotor and a hexarotor). The results show that we can successfully reach the visual target, even if not visible in the initial view. A video summary with simulations can be found in: https://***/2Hb3nkkcszE.

As the fields of machine learning and computer vision are developing, facial recognition systems are becoming increasingly popular and are slowly being widely used in various fields like security, surveillance and medicine. This paper presents the design and development of a facial recognition solution that works in a distributed context, given that the devices used for capturing the images do not have the ability to train models capable of achieving good enough accuracy on large amounts of data. Thus, a method is presented in which the detection of human faces and the characteristics extraction are done locally based on a pre-trained FaceNet model. These characteristics are sent to a strong processing unit where a global model is trained and then transferred back to the clients, where it can be used for recognition. Through experimental evaluation, we show that our solution is efficient and exhibits high accuracy values.
