Abstract
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) is becoming increasingly important in recent years. The usage is versatile, as UAVs are able to carry various load including complex sensor systems. However, the usage in special applications can present an issue. There is only a small number of special sensors that are suitable for operation on unmanned aerial vehicles. Mostly proprietary devices are available, which, on the other hand, may not be entirely suitable for use in conjunction with other devices or specific type of UAV. In order to move remote sensing applications from the experimental phase to the real deployment, it is necessary to come up with new methodologies a technology that can be verified using UAVs. One such application is remote sensing of forest areas by means of special spectral cameras, to allow early detection of infested bark beetle vegetation to be carried out. To accomplish this, it was necessary to create a specialized system containing both hardware and software components.
