Biologically Inspired Vision Systems for Flying Robots – Editorial

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have attracted considerable interest for a wide variety of applications, including meteorological observation, fire monitoring and patrolling, to military purposes such as reconnaissance, monitoring and communication [4]. In recent years, flying robots such as autonomous quadrocopters have gained increased interest in robotics and computer vision research. To navigate safely, these robots need the ability to localise themselves autonomously using their on-board sensors. Potential applications of such systems include automatic 3D reconstruction of buildings, inspection and simple\nmaintenance tasks, surveillance of public places, as well as search and rescue missions.
