Data acquisition from mobile platforms has become established in many applications recently, particularly using unmanned aerial systems (UASs). Unlike other mobile platforms, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can overfly inaccessible and also dangerous areas. Furthermore, they can get very close to objects to collect high-resolution data with low-resolution sensors, and they enable approach from all viewing directions without physical contact. UAVs now see use in precision farming for phenotyping or plant monitoring, and in infrastructure inspection and surveying.
