Whereas marketers in the past needed cranes and helicopters – and the associated costs of each – to record from aerial viewpoints, current marketers only really need a drone.
For the analyses, historic and current aerial photographs and vegetation data were used.
Finally the shortcomings of current aerial manipulation research are highlighted and a number of directions for future research are suggested.
While current aerial robots show promise, flying animals, including insects, bats and birds, far surpass them in versatility, reliability and robustness.
They say the array will overcome several significant problems with current aerial camera systems and distinguish fires as small as one foot across from a height of 10,000 feet.
The results obtained are interesting as they allow for integration, on a common cartographic reference base, with current aerial and satellite imagery (medium to very high geometric resolution) to perform automatic or visual change analysis procedures.
Dr Mirko Kovac, director of Imperial College London's current aerial robotics lab, suggests it could be as far out as a decade.
The vast majority of these are for aerial photography, and current regulations state that drone operators must have visual contact with their vehicle.

The current aerial count estimates in the area put biomass density of large wild herbivores excluding elephants at 0.83 tons km−2 Georgiadis et al. 2007).
The study compared 30 year-old aerial photos with current high resolution satellite images to detect changes in the watershed road network.
