Abstract

Small, low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has made data acquisition more convenient and accessible for many applications. Using multiple UAVs (a coven) brings even more advantages like redundancy and distributed information. The objective of this paper is to show how a coven of UAVs can help two applications: measuring wind and 3D photogrammetry.
