UAV and Drones: Current Applications

-Drones are widely used for a range of purposes, including military operations, aerial photography and videography, surveying, and agriculture, among others.

-It examines the use of small to medium UAVs for various civilian applications in Indonesia, including mapping, surveillance, and monitoring.

-It focuses on the development of a prototype drone equipped with smart Arduino sensors for measuring weather indices and also describes the design and development process of the drone, as well as the testing and validation of the sensor data.

-It explores the use of UAVs by urban search and rescue groups for disaster response and emergency management and discusses the benefits and limitations of using UAVs in these contexts, as well as the challenges associated with integrating UAV technology.

-It describes the use of UAV low-altitude remote sensing technology and transfer learning for land use information quick mapping and also focuses on the development of a UAV-based land use mapping system and demonstrate its effectiveness through field experiments.

-This book will be beneficial to professionals, researchers, and academicians and, moreover, to inspire the younger generations into pursuing relevant academic studies and professional careers within the drone industry.
