This paper addresses the topic of emergency landing spot detection for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). During operation, the vehicle is susceptible to faults and must be able to predict the land spot able to ensure that the UAV will be able to land without damages and injuries to humans and structures. A method was developed, based on geometric features extracted from Light Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) data. A simulation environment was developed in order to validate the effectiveness and the robustness of the proposed method.
