It proposes a framework that consists of two parts and relies on the integrated stereo vision sensor and the visual payload camera of the UAV to execute three high-level applications that aim at facilitating first responders in disaster relief missions.enLuftbildauswertungUnbemannte LuftfahrzeugeUmfelderfassung3D-KartierungKatastrophenhilfeAerial ReconnaissanceUnmanned Aerial VehiclesEnvironment Perception3D MappingDisaster Reliefdoctoral thesis
