Remote Sensing, Volume 10, Issue 7

July 2018 - 187 articles

Cover Story: In the last 10 years, developments in robotics, computer vision, and sensor technology have provided new spectral remote sensing tools to capture unprecedented ultra-high spatial and high spectral resolution data with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This development has led to a revolution in geospatial data collection in which not only a small number of specialists collect and deliver remotely sensed data, but a whole diverse community is potentially able to gather geospatial data that fit their needs. However, the diversification of sensing systems challenges the common application of good practice procedures that ensure the quality of the data. This challenge can only be met by establishing and communicating common procedures. In our review, we evaluate the state-of-the-art methods in UAV spectral remote sensing that have proven successful in scientific experiments and operational demonstrations. View this paper.
