Risks of Drone Use in Light of Literature Studies

“…Just as important as the drone’s flight is its landing. Researchers pay attention to automatic landing [ 67 , 214 , 215 ] on horizontal surfaces, with the possibility of climbing [ 216 ]. Researchers also share developed solutions in the design, construction, and testing of a drone in the form of open source [ 94 ], describe the process of designing a drone [ 217 ], or develop a drone network [ 218 , 219 ].…”

Analyzing visual imagery for emergency drone landing on unknown environments

“…29,30 Similarly, Sudevan et al 31 fused speeded up robust features detector and fast approximate nearest neighbor method for landing on a stationary target. Additionally, Saavedra-Ruiz et al 32 presented a monocular visual system, using a software- in-the-loop for autonomous landing on a predefined landing pad and Cabrera-Ponce and Martínez-Carranza 33 used a flag posed on a pole to locate the landing platform nearby.…”
