Top Research Papers on UAV

The developed program consisting of several packages that are aimed to demonstrate obstacle avoidance using tag recognition and convert it to certain task for example search and rescue.

Within DOD most advances are being made not with paltform improvements (airplanes, ships, tanks), but with improvements in C4ISR, Network Centric Warfare and Command & Control.

A NeRF point sampling method generated using a UAV imaging model, compatible with a global geographic coordinate system, and suitable for a UAV view is proposed, which reached a level of precision comparable to that of traditional photogrammetry methods.

Drones or UAVs are very effective for aerial surveillance, mapping system, intelligence gathering, and manning security - and it is to be adopted by the security agencies in Nigeria.

The results show that plant height and plant growth can be accurately modelled with UAV-based CSMs from RGB imaging, and biomass is successfully estimated from the derived plant height, with the restriction that results are based on a single-year dataset and thus require further validation.

The design and development of a method for remote planning and control of drones based on the utilisation of AR is presented and contributes towards enabling engineers visualise the drone path with the use of Augmented Reality and provides the flexibility of adding multiple way points.

The discussion will present an approach of utilizing a dynamic ground based real-time tracking high gain directional antenna to provide extend range stand-off operation, potential RF channel reuse, and assured telemetry and data communications from low-powered UAV deployed wireless assets.

Global warming is always increasing; then it impacts to climate change, which is indicated by an increase in seawater temperature, melting ice, sea-level rise and flooding. In the research area at Jabon District Sidoarjo was affected by sea flood in December 2017 within material loss about 5 billion rupiahs. This research aims to utilise the recent technology in construction era 4.0 with photogrammetric techniques using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles along with sonar tools to analyse flooding events by making bathymetry maps with low and affordable costs in watersheds. Besides, an analysis of the ef...

Tanggung Jawab Komando Atas Penyalahgunaan Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Jenis Drone Dalam Hukum Humaniter Internasional (Kasus Penyerangan Drone Amerika Serikat di Afghanistan) Fakultas Hukum Universitas Syiah Kuala (viii, 78). pp., bibl.,app. ABSTRAK Maman Abdullah, 2019 ( Prof. Dr. Adwani, S.H.,M.Hum) Dengan perkembangan teknologi dunia, maka metode dan alat perang dalam konflik pun ikut mengalami pembaharuan. Salah satunya adalah penggunaan drone. Praktik penggunaan senjata baru tersebut diatur dalam Pasal 36 Protokol Tambahan I Tahun 1977 yang menyatakan secara eksplisit bahwa negara dibe...

Estimates of liana infestation from the UAV correlated strongly with ground-based surveys at individual tree and plot level, and across multiple forest types and spatial resolutions, improving lianainfestation assessment for upper canopy layers.

This paper proposes data-driven modeling software for UAV that utilizes the utilization of cost-effective sensors to obtain orientation and location data subsequently processed through the application of data filtering algorithms and sensor fusion techniques to improve the data quality.

Tree height and crown diameter are two common individual tree attributes that can be estimated from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) images thanks to photogrammetry and structure from motion. This research investigates the potential of low-cost UAV aerial images to estimate tree height and crown diameter. Two successful flights were carried out in two different seasons corresponding to leaf-off and leaf-on conditions to generate a digital terrain model and a digital surface model, which were further employed in calculation of a canopy height model (CHM). The CHM was used to estimate tree height u...

Landslides are highly erosional processes that dominate sediment mobilization and reshape landscapes in orogenic belts. Therefore, quantifying and characterizing landslide volume is essential to disaster prevention and understanding landscape evolution in mountainous rivers. Progressive development of the structure-from-motion (SfM) and multi-view stereo (MVS) photogrammetric techniques and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) provides low-cost and high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs), compared to traditional aerial photogrammetry at the same resolution. In this study, we quantified lands...

High population densities of the potato cyst nematodes (PCN) Globodera pallida and G. rostochiensis cause substantial yield losses to potato production (Solanum tuberosum) due to the delay caused to tuber formation by the retardation of plant growth. It requires meticulous estimation of the population densities by using soil sampling and applying the right combination of nematode management to deal with the PCN problem. This study aims to assess the use of an unmanned vehicle (UAV) in detecting and estimating the effect of ranges of densities of a PCN, G. pallida, on four cultivated potato cul...

Military policymakers and clinicians should be highly sensitive to the fact that RPA operators also have a high probability of developing mental health disorders, particularly when using remotely piloted aircraft as weapons.

This work presents a vision-based unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted cooperative system for multiple UGVs that harnesses the broad vision of UAV and operates in both general outdoor and global positioning system (GPS)-denied indoor environments.

The study focuses on the issue that prompt transportation and delivery of logistics from one location to the other in Nigeria is at present costly, difficult, unrealistic, and cumbersome as occasioned by; road congestion in urban cities, increased, insecurity pollution, unnecessary delays, and declined efficiency, among others. The menace often poses threats to city planners to maintain the pace of the ever increasing urbanization process and population growth in all ramifications. The current situation has, however, warranted possibility for drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) technolog...

The global sea level rise is rapidly increased as the result of climate change which indicated by the expansion of marine heat and ice melting. It was identified as one of the most contributing factors, which threatens coastal communities, even national economy of a country. The combination of groundwater flooding and coastal flood was reported to make a total loss of at least 5 billion rupiahs with respect to crop failure of tons of seaweed as well as fish lost. The aim of this research is to construct a topographic and bathymetric map using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)/drone series DJI Pha...

The FCS construct of network-centric systems reduces the importance of individual systems and raises the emphasis on common communications, computers, sensors, modeling/simulation, weapons, training and logistics.
