From June 05th – 07th 2018, the EBU Strategic Programme on Media Information Management and AI (MIM-AI) and the Metadata Developer Network (MDN) organised the MDN Workshop at EBU HQ in Geneva.

The MDN Workshop “is the annual meeting point for developers working on Metadata and Artificial Intelligence in broadcasting” with the idea to share knowledge, learn from their peers, get feedback and collaborate on metadata-related projects.

 
Ioannis Pitas from AUTH and Alberto Messina from RAI presented the MultiDrone Project with a focus on Drone Cinematography on June 07th. This included a closer look at framing shot types and camera motion types and introduced the advances in object detection to improve automatic crowd detection for a higher level of drone flight safety.
