Preface
The book was motivated by a significant number of vision based algorithms for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) that are developed during research and development projects. Nowadays, it can be observed a significant increase in a number of UAV applications. One of the main factors in the development of UAV is rapid progress of development of advanced sensory and considerable incre
