Advanced Unmanned System Control and Data Processing
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
UAV drone technology is constantly evolving with new innovation in circuit boards, chipset, peripherals, and software, resulting in more advanced drones on the market every few months. Drones are used for aerial photography, express shipping and delivery, search and rescue, geographic mapping, surveillance, and so on. Research on the design, data processing, and applications of drones or general unmanned vehicle systems are of great importance.
This Special Issue aims to report the most recent research results in UAV control and data processing. Papers on UAV tracking and control, UAV image-based object detection, UAV applications, and general machine learning algorithms are all welcome. This Special Issue is within the scope of Drones.
