Aerial Photography with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Abstract

Aerial Imagery has a huge range of applications. For example, it can help to predict and respond to the impact of likely, imminent, or current hazard events or conditions. It allows for more precise management of agriculture and is used in construction as well as in film production. With the advent of small and affordable unmanned aerial vehicles, aerial photography has received a major boost. The talk gives an insight into the possibilities, technologies and concepts of aerial photography with the help of unmanned aerial vehicles.
