Emergency landing zone selecting model for UAV

Abstract

Lately, the application of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) has drawn increasing attention. However, due to the lack of related systems, safety issues are becoming an urgent matter. The course rollback, a function provided by commercial UAV companies, cannot react to issues about various difficulties and fuel shortage. This is the reason it is necessary to study selecting an emergency landing zone in urgent situations. This study proposes a method for the drone to autonomically select a landing zone in case of an emergency as a model. In the validation stage, Our study analyzes the image according to the procedure and verifies if the site was properly selected. This study has an academic and practical significance as an advanced research on the safe operation of UAV. © 2016 SERSC.
