UAV Technology Integration for Remote Sensing Image Analysis

Marco Piragnolo, Francesco Pirotti

2016

Abstract

In the last few years unmanned aircraft vehicles (UAVs) have achieved considerable success with an increasing number of operators. High-resolution images "on demand" are obtained by camera and multispectral sensors. Fields of application are various, from three-dimensional survey of morphological aspects of the terrain, to environmental analysis and forestry. Issues related to these new technologies include assessing the quality of the survey, assessment of accuracy and errors, image interpretation, use of information obtained from radiometric sensors. In particular the main focus of this project is to use a multilevel remote sensing framework in order to integrate information obtained through UAV images, satellite images from Sentinel I and II, radiometric analysis, and spatial information in order to derive informative maps to be used for educated decision support.
