TL;DR: The goal is to establish the suitability of the SIFT technique for automatic tie point extraction and approximate DSM (Digital Surface Model) generation, and to develop an auto- Adaptive SIFT operator, which has been validated on several aerial images, with particular attention to large scale aerial images acquired using mini-UAV systems.

TL;DR: This letter presents a radiation pattern verification system for low-frequency antennas in their operative conditions, e.g., on the ground, next to other elements, etc, using a properly equipped micro unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) as a test source.

TL;DR: Evaluation of what and where it is possible nowadays to find the main differences between photogrammetry and computer vision approaches and how these have to be considered in the choice of the processing technique is allowed to enlighten some differences between the two image processing approaches.

TL;DR: A UAV deployment exercise was jointly organized with the Regional Civil Protection authority, mainly aimed at assessing the operational procedures to deploy UAVs for mapping purposes and the usability of the acquired data in an emergency response context.

TL;DR: In this article, a low-cost UAV system was used for automatic orientation and orthophoto generation at a Roman villa archaeological site located in Aquileia (Italy), a well-known UNESCO WHL site.
