The widely use of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) in the last decade has promoted the use of different detection technologies that can be adapted to the different conditionswork in ambient indoor/outdoor. The object detection observed under rainy conditions is a challenge to which they have proposed some solution as use of the Radar. Due to the atmosphere’s capacity to absorb the wavelengths in the near-infrared spectrum, the SPI-NIR is a solution of lowcost. The SPI systems in recent years have improved, reaching processing times close to real-time , which offers an advantange for its integration in systems enables autonomous navigation of Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAVs), where its necessary to have fast response times of vision systems for navigation applications and it doesn’t need to have a highquality image.
