This book provides an overview of the basic concepts and components of UAVs the various
sensors used architecture of autonomous UAVs communication tools and devices to acquire
real-time data from UAVs the software needed to analyze the UAV data required rules and
regulations to fly UAVs various application areas (e.g. construction oil and gas mining
agriculture forestry search and rescue surveillance transportation disaster logistics)
and future areas of research which is needed to handle relevant challenges.
