In this paper we propose a platform that is applicable to low altitude remote sensing. Basic idea of the platform is based on the model helicopter. On big difference from the conventional model helicopter is that our platform has four main rotors. Furthermore, vision control strategy is introduced so that operator can use the platform without any specialized intensive knowledge
