1. Book Title
VOLUME 1 - CONTROL AND PERFORMANCE: This tome explores how sensors and computer
vision technologies are used in unmanned aerial vehicles for the navigation, control, stability,
reliability, guidance, fault detection, self-maintenance, strategic replanning and reconfiguration of
the entire system. It helps analyse the manner UAVs interact with the Internet of Things (IoT), use
cloud computing, meet communications requirements, implement hardware/software paradigms
necessary to handle still imagery, video streaming, incorporate satellite data, and combine
computer vision with virtual/augmented realities (VR/AR).NB: This is planned to be the companion
volume of Estrela, Hemanth, Saotome (Eds) / Imaging and Sensing for Unmanned Aerial
Vehicles: Volume 2 - Deployment and Applications
