The application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) developed rapidly since 1914 when the first military unmanned aerial vehicle was invented in Britain. It gradually turned from military utilization to civil use and recently played a critical role in disaster reduction and disaster prevention. This paper introduces some concepts and characteristics of the application of UAV in geologic hazards investigation on the basis of some practical experiences in UAV remote sensing experiments. Furthermore, the technical flow about UAV remote sensing data acquisition, processing and application is proposed. Thereby, the feasibility of the application of UAV in geologic hazards investigation for oil and gas pipelines is verified. Finally this paper points out some problems of this technique while in practical use and its development in future.
