无人驾驶飞行器（UAV）或无人机已成为从业者和研究人员的流行工具。近年来，无人机在科学和工程领域的许多应用中的使用显着增加。在文献中已经报道了关于无人机的一系列广泛的研究进展。本文简要回顾了无人机的发展，重点是民用基础设施的应用。首先，为希望将无人机纳入其研究工作的研究人员提供指导。概述了不同类型无人机的优缺点，并讨论了其性能特点。提供了展示扩展功能的不同传感器有效载荷的示例。审查还提供了一个概述的研究工作，在新兴领域的无线传感器网络和数据处理算法，具体到无人机收集的数据。重点介绍了近年来无人机在灾后侦察、基础设施监测、岩土工程和施工管理等方面取得的成就。从无人机的实施和良好的做法考虑的经验教训进行了讨论。本文最后讨论了新兴的和未来的研究领域，解决目前的实践中最紧迫的知识差距。
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), or drones, have become popular tools for practitioners and researchers alike. Recent years have seen a significant increase in UAV uses for many applications in the fields of science and engineering. A broad array of research development in UAVs has been reported in the literature. This paper provides a summary review of efforts related to UAV development with a focus on civil infrastructure applications. First, guidance is provided for researchers looking to newly incorporate UAVs into their research efforts. The advantages and disadvantages between different UAV types are outlined and performance characteristics discussed. Examples of different sensor payloads that demonstrate expanded functionality are provided. The review also provides an overview of research efforts in the emerging domain of wireless sensor networks and data processing algorithms specific to UAV-collected data. Highlights of recent achievements of UAVs in post-disaster reconnaissance, infrastructure component monitoring, geotechnical engineering, and construction management are presented. Lessons learned from UAV implementation and considerations for good practice are also discussed. The paper concludes with a discussion of the emerging and future research domains that address the most pressing knowledge gaps in current practice.
