Özet

© 2016 IEEE.In this work, it is aimed to determine the suitable landing zones for the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in case of an emergency during their missions. SRTM (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission) maps were used to reach that aim. Nowadays, it is observed that the UAVs are being used densely for both military and civilian purposes. So, it is inevitable to make the UAVs smarter and make them more autonomous to minimize their dependence on a person. UAVs can have unexpected problems during their missions such as motor fault, communication cut etc. In this situation, a UAV should activate the emergency landing systems and realize the landing safely. Image segmentation and blob analysis are used to determine the possible landing zones on the SRTM data. In this proposed system, the landing of a UAV to unwanted zones is limited and the UAV is guidance to the predetermined safe zones.
