A Survey on Applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Using Machine Learning

Abstract

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play an important role in many applications, including health, transport, telecommunications and safe and rescue operations. Their adoption can improve the speed and precision of applications when compared to traditional solutions based on handwork. The use of UAVs brings scientific and technological challenges. In this context, Machine Learning (ML) techniques provide solutions to several problems concerning the use of UAVs in civil and military applications. An increasing number of scientific papers on the use of ML in UAVs context have been published in academic journals. In this work, we present a literature review on the use of ML techniques in UAVs, outlining the most recurrent areas and the most commonly used ML techniques in UAV applications. The results reveal that applications in the areas of environment, communication and security are among the main research topics.INDEX TERMS unmanned aerial vehicle, machine learning, literature review, UAV applications, neural networks.

Advancing autonomy through lifelong learning: a survey of autonomous intelligent systems

“…However, several crucial factors hinder the performance of UAVs in urban security. These factors include diverse scenes, stringent manmachine safety requirements, limited availability of training data, and small sample sizes (Carrio et al, 2017;Teixeira et al, 2023). Addressing these challenges is essential to ensure the optimal functioning of UAVs in urban security scenarios.…”

A Novel Integral Image Recognition Method and System with Verification Measurement by Sensors for Hot Steel-Bar Stack Accident Detection

“…However, how to use machine vision methods to improve the accuracy and efficiency of image recognition is still challenging, especially with little research on HSBS accident detection. (16)(17)(18) Abhishek and Jegadeeshwaran (19) invented a new machine learning method to investigate the problems of classifying and predicting tool states. Yanzhou et al (20) summarized the machine learning algorithms for detection in the process of metal laser-based additive manufacturing.…”
