Ardupilot.org: Populate use cases

[OlivierJB]

Also integrate info from current use cases section of Wiki

[OlivierJB]

I've been making some progress on this gathering materials. At this time I've thinking of the following (listed here in no particular order:

• Aerial mapping (add to existing), possibly splitting it into "3d Mapping" (from wiki use case) and more precise photogrammetry examples, with high precision survey type examples from industry
• Search and Rescue (add to existing) More on Medical Express 16 and outback challenge, also add blood sample delivery in African project, ref medical paper; Syria project (unfortunately cancelled)
• Dispersal of predators ("bug release", aerobug.au)
• Mapping for agriculture (NDVI) ** (Agribotix, etc ...)
• Bathymetry with rover/boat (Acid lake example, Droneworks LA)
• Education (U. of Kansas, Olivier. in STEM and IEEE, Randy in Japan, others?)
• Automated Wind turbine blade inspection (Research, ref: ICUAS paper)
• Canopy sampling in forestry (Research, ref: ICUAS "Canopy Sampling Using an Aerial Manipulator")
• Lighting management (Rubidium Rover)
• Avalanche prevention (Explosive delivery, Mountain drones)
• Aeromagnetics (RL, Luis? O, Craig? GEM systems)
• Rover volcano delivery Randy et al.
• Cargo Drone and package delivery (Airbus/Local motor)
• Swarms (from wiki use case, ARSENIL).
• "Fun" FPV Flying
• Photography/Video. (Since ubiquitous, just a few examples).
• Use in research: Summary and bibliography, >30 papers since 2013, from academia in over 20 countries
• Light painting

in the research category, the people using ardupilot fixed wing for flying wind turbines is cute http://diydrones.com/profiles/blog/show?id=705844%3ABlogPost%3A2340948&commentId=705844%3AComment%3A2342193&xg_source=activity

@OlivierJB do you intend to add to this?
