“…A special type of SUAV is constituted by hand launched fixed-wing air vehicles that can be easily operated by a single user in an outdoor environment. For this vehicles, several applications exist, such as forest fire monitoring [1], multispectral agricultural remote sensing and crop management [2], urban environment monitoring [3], real time mapping of disaster areas [4], power line inspection [5] and many others.…”

This paper addresses the ongoing process of development of a small hand-held multiple unmanned aerial vehicle platform for surveillance and monitoring. The project cover all phases of development, from aerodynamic design and mechanical assembly, through fine tuning low level control loops and design of an attitude and heading reference system, up to implementation of navigation algorithms and finally flight testing. Commercial hardware is used to speed up development, allowing the team responsible for implementing the navigation algorithms to execute and test while the team responsible for the aerodynamics and electronics can design and compare results. I. INTRODUCTIONSmall Unnamed Aerial Vehicles (SUAVs) are a class of robotic airships, which equipped with cameras and special sensors, can be used in several applications. The importance of these vehicles has grown continuously in the last years, especially for military and reconnaissance purposes, particularly in operations where the tasks are dangerous or tedious for human pilots. A special type of SUAV is constituted by hand launched fixed-wing air vehicles that can be easily operated by a single user in an outdoor environment. For this vehicles, several applications exist, such as forest fire monitoring [1], multispectral agricultural remote sensing and crop management [2], urban environment monitoring [3], real time mapping of disaster areas [4], power line inspection [5] and many others.

In this article, a set of integrated ground target tracking flight system has been proposed based on the Qball-X4 quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle hardware platform and the QuaRC software platform. Both of the hardware and software platforms are developed by Quanser Company, Canada. The proposed tracking and positioning algorithm could be divided into several stages. First, a tracker is developed based on an optical flow method to track the target; and then, in order to improve the reliability of tracking algorithm and also help in retrieving the lost target, a cascade target detector is developed; meanwhile, a model updated scheme aiming at some possible errors in tracking and detecting process is presented based on Positive-Negative (P-N) learning system; at last, a monocular visual positioning system is designed based on the corresponding navigation message. In addition, the effectiveness of the proposed flight control system is verified by both simulation and hardware-in-loop system results in several tracking flight tests.

“…Authors have proposed a method for using UAV and helicopter to quantify the products of remote sensing fitted with low cost thermal and narrow band sensors of multi spectral imaging for precision farming applications. Austin M. Jensena, Thomas Hardyb, Mac McKeea and Yang Quan Chena [5] have studied a remote sensing platform called AggieAirTM, a self-governing, unmanned, aerial vehicle. This AggieAirTM was designed and implemented by Utah State University to produce images of multi spectral taken from above the crop.…”

Today the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) or also known as drones are used for many operations in agriculture for enhancing the crop yield and reducing the cost of production. UAV application in agriculture leverages the economy of farmers. The UAV powered by solar or wind mounted with imaging processing capabilities and other devices will enable efficient operations like crop monitoring, spraying of fertilizers and chemical. UAV are extensively used in precision farming in developed counties. The authors have carried out the review of literature on the applications of UAV in agricultural across the world.
