Abstract
In a world where information is so important, the ensemble formed by An Unnamed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) and sensor opens a door to techniques unthinkable just a decade ago. In this paper several novel applications where the combination of sensors and UAV have proven their effectiveness: a monitoring application using this technique was used to control the transfer of a large metal dome in the sports hall of the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain), an operation of great technical difficulty, the semi-automatic creation of an orthoimage of a large expanse of field, determining the status of a solar farm, agricultural applications for determining the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and inspection work of wind farms are just a sample of the range of possibilities that these techniques offer now safely and in a few years will be part of our daily lives.
Keywords: Microdrone, multispectral image, orthoimage, photographs, sensor, thermal sensors, UAV.
