Drone safe-landing with real-time route optimization

Current UAV technology has led to an exponential growth in the potential applications of drones in both the military and the civilian fields. Therefore, drone missions must be subject to regulations that ensure safety in operations, especially in Urban Air Mobility tasks. Nevertheless, unpredictable conditions may lead drones to dangerous routes, e.g. flying over assemblies of people. To address this issue, we propose a technological solution to give a drone the ability to detect people and/or crowds in the territory below it, and, consequently, to automatically reroute itself to avoid people
