It is especially designed for small UAVs, where the shortage of weight, space and power has to be addressed. We propose a dynamic composition of algorithmic chains from individual perception modules in order to satisfy given perceptional tasks. A toy problem in the area of road vehicle tracking and detection is used to explain the resulting system in detail, consisting mainly of a Perception Solver, Processing Coordinator and Result Validator.}, note = {}, institution = {Universität der Bundeswehr München, Fakultät für Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik, LRT 13 - Institut für Flugsysteme, Professur: Stütz, Peter}, }
