Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) domain has seen rapid developments in recent years. As the number of UAVs increases and as the missions involving UAVs vary, new research issues surface. An overview of the existing research areas in the UAV domain has been presented including the nature of the work categorised under different groups. These research areas are divided into two main streams: Technological and operational research areas. The research areas in technology are divided into onboard and ground technologies. The research areas in operations are divided into organization level, brigade level, user level, standards and certifications, regulations and legal, moral, and ethical issues. This overview is intended to serve as a starting point for fellow researchers new to the domain, to help researchers in positioning their research, identifying related research areas, and focusing on the right issues.

Vision-Based Detection and Distance Estimation of Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Gökçe, Fatih; Üçoluk, Göktürk; Şahin, Erol; Kalkan, Sinan (MDPI, ST ALBAN-ANLAGE 66, CH-4052 BASEL, SWITZERLAND, 2015-9) Detection and distance estimation of micro unmanned aerial vehicles (mUAVs) is crucial for (i) the detection of intruder mUAVs in protected environments; (ii) sense and avoid purposes on mUAVs or on other aerial vehicles and (iii) multi-mUAV control scenarios, such as environmental monitoring, surveillance and exploration. In this article, we evaluate vision algorithms as alternatives for detection and distance estimation of mUAVs, since other sensing modalities entail certain limitations on the environment...
Application of a Fixed-Wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in Reforestation of Lebanon Cedar (Cedrus Libani A. Rich) Şahin, Mustafa (null; 2011-03-16) Studies and development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) started shortly after the first controlled, powered, heavier-than-air human flight in 1903. UAVs have many advantages over piloted aircraft, such as minimizing human risk, flying economically, and flying for extended periods of time. Early UAVs were mostly developed for military purposes, but modern development encompasses both military and civilian uses and is now pursued worldwide. While UAVs serve a number of important civilian functions such as ...
Coordinated guidance for multiple UAVs Cakici, Ferit; Ergezer, Halit; Irmak, Ufuk; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2016-05-01) This paper addresses the path planning problem of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The paths are planned to maximize collected amount of information from desired regions (DRs), while avoiding forbidden regions (FRs) and reaching the destination. This study focuses on maximizing collected information instead of minimizing total mission time, as in previous studies. The problem is solved by a genetic algorithm (GA) with the proposal of novel evolutionary operators. The initial populations are generat...
Unmanned Air Vehicle Routing With Multiple Objectives Daşdemir, Erdi; Azizoğlu, Meral; Tezcaner Öztürk, Diclehan; Department of Industrial Engineering (2021-7) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are special types of aircraft operating without a human pilot on board. In this thesis, the multi-objective UAV route planning is addressed by studying three different problems. In the first study, the bi-objective route planning problem of a UAV that is tasked with visiting all targets located in an enemy region monitored by radars is addressed. The aim is to determine both the visiting order of the targets and the specific trajectories to use between consecutive target pair...
Transfer Learning-Based Crack Detection by AutonomousUAVs Küçüksubaşı, Fatih; Sorguç, Arzu (2018-07-20) Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have recently shown great performance collecting visual data through autonomous exploration and mapping in building inspection. Yet, the number of studies is limited considering the post processing of the data and its integration with autonomous UAVs. These will enable huge steps onward into full automation of building inspection. In this regard, this work presents a decision making tool for revisiting tasks in visual building inspection by autonomous UAVs. The tool is an imp...
