Special Issue on High-Speed Vision-Based Autonomous Navigation of UAVs

摘要

During the last decade, the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) industry has experienced an exponential growth and Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are starting to play a major role in different types of missions including search and rescue, environment monitoring, security surveillance, transportation, and inspection. Small-scale size vehicles can be used in constrained outdoor and indoor environments and, because of the lighter weight, represent only a modest risk for people. However, for such operations, many research challenges arise.
