Design and implementation of a micro-UAV route control system for geological hazard investigation

To satisfy the requirements of data collection and workflow, an android-based control system of micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), which is suitable for geo-hazards field investigation, has been developed combining with GIS and image fusion technology. The system has advantages of route planning, intelligent continuous flight, fast image mosaicking, off-line map and multiple shooting modes for different types of hazard. In addition, the automatic collection process allows the investigators to acquire remote sensing data with rapidity and with easy, and provides an intuitive and accurate data support for geological survey.
