In addition to the above functions and applications, UAVs
can also be used to monitor and track long linear structures
[8][9]. One example is where an autonomous UAV was
developed to address the problem of searching and mapping
a stretch of a river [10]. In this application, the UAV is
equipped with GPS components while the coordinates of the
river are not known. UAV uses visual feedback and its GPS to
find and map the boundaries of the river. In another example,
multiple UAVs were proposed to perform border or perimeter
patrols [11]. UAVs can collaborate on the organization of the
motion and navigation functions. Collaborative UAVs can
provide effective, fast, and flexible monitoring of borders
compared to other proposed systems. For example, one UAV
can follow one noticed target to provide more information
about it while another can collaborate in providing general
monitoring for different regions on the border. Moreover,
UAVs can be used to inspect and monitor linear infrastructures
such oil or gas pipeline, roads, bridges, and power grids
to ensure the reliability and to extend the life of these civilian
systems by enabling the process of providing proper and
timely maintenance [12].
Although the above mentioned UAV applications are very
useful, implementing, testing, and operating such applications
are not trivial processes. This is due to a number of
technical challenges facing the design of these applications.
