Overview
Modern aerial-based technology offers a promising way to ensure sustainability and increase productivity in the outdoor economy, such as agriculture, environment monitoring, and infrastructure inspection. UAVs play a crucial role in modern intelligent systems.
Equipped with cameras and sensors, UAVs fly over large areas and capture high-resolution aerial imagery to provide real-time object information. Moreover, the wireless transceivers equipped on UAVs facilitate data collection and forwarding services.
