Timely autonomous identification of UAV safe landing zones

作者：

Highlights：

• An autonomous method of identifying UAV safe landing zones from imagery is presented.

• Fuzzy logic is used to combine various attribute values and determine a safety score.

• We model the execution times of two safe landing zone detection options.

• Incorporating knowledge enhances accuracy and reduces susceptibility to noise.
