1. A landing platform for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to be installed onto an object, the landing platform comprising:
a base having a landing surface;
a movable cover coupled to the base to enclose an interior space of the landing platform;
at least three visual indicators coupled to the base;
a plurality of charging contacts disposed on said landing surface to make direct contact with a charging contact of said UAV when said UAV rests on said landing surface;
a movement compensating mechanism coupled to the landing surface to compensate a movement of the landing surface relative to the object, wherein the compensating mechanism provides a freedom of tilting movement along at least one axis relative to the object so as to keep the land surface level irrespective of the object; and
a heater coupled to the base to supply heat into said interior space.
