Abstract
Advancement in Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information System (GIS) allows non-destructive and timely observation of particular events. Precise and timely assessment of natural disasters such as earthquakes, landslides, forest fires, and volcanic eruptions is essential in giving an operational challenge for the research community. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) play a major role in remote sensing, which provides a feasible, accurate, and safe tool for analyzing the impacts of natural disasters and agriculture in real time. The sensor nodes and various imaging techniques are utilized to access the geographic information using UAVs and monitor the environmental consequences across different management practices. This chapter analyzes the use of various Machine Learning (ML) algorithms with the integration of UAVs to fetch valuable insights from the target field and provide accurate information. This helps the scientific community to extrapolate disaster management ...
