“…Use of these systems was once limited to military purposes. Recently however, these machines have found civilian and/or commercial uses ranging from aerial surveys [1], remote sensing [2], mapping of historical uranium mines [3], monitoring & surveillance of wildlife species [4], traffic monitoring [5] , law enforcement [6] , oil and gas pipeline threat detection [7] and [8] , and several others.…”

This paper presents results of an exhaustive survey of commercially-applied drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) including a review of their applications, features, characteristics, and other information through a wealth of secondary data, particularly online records and documents consulted along with key-informant interviews. A simple descriptive-quantitative method was applied to treat the data.It was found that UAVs are now used in such areas as Agriculture, Real Estate, Film and TV, Oil and Gas, Construction, Fisheries, Wildlife Surveillance, Water Management and Security. Out of 30 sample applications documented, 23.33% are dedicated in providing support to public/civilian security. Agriculture, Photography and Wildlife Surveillance rank next with 16.67%. Three (3) or 10% were used in Real Estates; two (2) or 6.67% were for Fisheries; and one (1) or 3.33% were used each for Oil and Gas, Construction and Water Management.Fixed-winged UAVs are used for surveying and capturing wider range of imagery while multi-rotors are used to taking close and contained objects and locations here there is need for greater maneuverability on capturing images.The ScanEagle drone developed by Boeing is the most expensive costing $500,000. It has a fixed-wing design, launched through a catapult, and has a range of 100 kilometers. It can fly at 69 miles per hour at an altitude of 19,500 feet for 24 hours carrying a load of up to 48.5 pounds. General TermsUnmanned Aerial Vehicles

“…In the last few years, the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has increased exponentially, involving a growing number of applications in different areas (Sauerbier 2010), (Manyoky, 2011), (Kanistras, 2014). One of the key factors of the success of UAVs lies in the possibility of equipping them with imaging sensors (Vasterling, 2013).…”

ABSTRACT:We designed a method for creating 3D models of objects and areas from two aerial images acquired from an UAV. The models are generated automatically and in real-time, and consist in dense and true-colour reconstructions of the considered areas, which give the impression to the operator to be physically present within the scene. The proposed method only needs a cheap compact camera, mounted on a small UAV. No additional instrumentation is necessary, so that the costs are very limited. The method consists of two main parts: the design of the acquisition system and the 3D reconstruction algorithm. In the first part, the choices for the acquisition geometry and for the camera parameters are optimized, in order to yield the best performance. In the second part, a reconstruction algorithm extracts the 3D model from the two acquired images, maximizing the accuracy under the real-time constraint. A test was performed in monitoring a construction yard, obtaining very promising results. Highly realistic and easy-to-interpret 3D models of objects and areas of interest were produced in less than one second, with an accuracy of about 0.5m. For its characteristics, the designed method is suitable for video-surveillance, remote sensing and monitoring, especially in those applications that require intuitive and reliable information quickly, as disasters monitoring, search and rescue and area surveillance.
