Abstract


Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are equipped with video surveillance devices (video cameras, photo cameras, infrared cameras, thermal imagers, etc.). Small aerial vehicles are most often equipped with stationary video cameras. However, for large-scale filming it is necessary to provide rotation of the camera in one or several planes. This article covers different opportunities to film objects or area irrespective of the AV flight path.
