| 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. INTRODUCTION Small, low-cost unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly being used in various projects and applications to reduce cost, increase availability and to get real-time quality data. For example, Graml and Wigley [1] proposed a method to detect hotspots around the perimeter of a recently extinguished bushfire using a small IntelliTech Microsystems Vector-P UAV. By detecting these hotspots, this method can help firefighters to prevent the bushfire from reigniting. Another paper explains how EisenBeiss et. al. [2] used a helicopter with a CCD camera along with data from a laser scanner to create a 3D model of an archaeological site in Peru. The remote location and rugged topography usually makes getting to and working at the site difficult, however the small UAV proved to be a good tool to offset these drawbacks. Small UAVs are also very popular in a military setting for target detection and localization [3–5]. Barber et. al. [3] develops a method to detect and localize a target by circling around it, reit |
