Airborne technology developed rapidly in the last decade offering solutions for both data acquisition and surveillance purposes. The same technology can be used by no specialists for entertaining reasons or by governmental companies for security issues. However, there are several matters that the two will look for the acquisition characteristics and the data processing software. Nowadays as an alternative for airborne technology are used Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle is a system composed by ...
