Humans use UAVs to monitor changes in forest environments since they are lightweight and provide a large variety of surveillance data. However, their information does not present enough details for understanding the scene which is needed to…
The integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) is increasingly central to the development of intelligent autonomous systems for applications such as search and rescue, environmental monitoring, and…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been used for many applications in recent years, from urban search and rescue, to agricultural surveying, to autonomous underground mine exploration. However, deploying UAVs in tight, indoor spaces,…
Experimental analysis of cavitation bubble dynamics typically uses optical imaging. However, images are often severely affected by distortions and shadows due to refraction and total reflection at the liquid--gas interface. Here it is shown…
This paper presents an adaptive path planner for object search in agricultural fields using UAVs. The path planner uses a high-altitude coverage flight path and plans additional low-altitude inspections when the detection network is…
The implementation of fractional differential calculations can give new possibilities for image processing tools, in particular for those that are devoted to astronomical images analysis. As discussed in arxiv:0910.2381, the fractional…
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are known for their fast and versatile applicability. With UAVs' growth in availability and applications, they are now of vital importance in serving as technological support in search-and-rescue(SAR)…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are used successfully in many application areas such as military, security, monitoring, emergency aid, tourism, agriculture, and forestry. This study aims to automatically count trees in designated areas on…
Registration of unmanned aerial vehicle laser scanning (ULS) and ground light detection and ranging (LiDAR) point clouds in forests is critical to create a detailed representation of a forest structure and an accurate inversion of forest…
This paper presents a novel approach to build consistent 3D maps for multi robot cooperation in USAR environments. The sensor streams from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ground robots (UGV) are fused in one consistent map. The UAV…
Recent advances in the area of plane segmentation from single RGB images show strong accuracy improvements and now allow a reliable segmentation of indoor scenes into planes. Nonetheless, fine-grained details of these segmentation masks are…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are evolving as an alternative tool to acquire land tenure data. UAVs can capture geospatial data at high quality and resolution in a cost-effective, transparent and flexible manner, from which visible land…
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), especially fixed-wing ones that withstand strong winds, have great potential for oceanic exploration and research. This paper studies a UAV-aided maritime data collection system with a fixed-wing UAV…
A common requirement of plant breeding programs across the country is companion planting -- growing different species of plants in close proximity so they can mutually benefit each other. However, the determination of companion plants…
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are transforming infrastructure inspections in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Facility Management (AEC+FM) domain. By synthesizing insights from over 150 studies, this review paper…
The agility and versatility offered by UAV platforms still encounter obstacles for full exploitation in industrial applications due to their indoor usage limitations. A significant challenge in this sense is finding a reliable and…
Research in the field of autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has significantly advanced in recent years, mainly due to their relevance in a large variety of commercial, industrial, and military applications. However, UAV navigation…
Aerial pixel-wise scene perception of the surrounding environment is an important task for UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). Previous research works mainly adopt conventional pinhole cameras or fisheye cameras as the imaging device. However,…
Absolute Visual Localization (AVL) enables an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to determine its position in GNSS-denied environments by establishing geometric relationships between UAV images and geo-tagged reference maps. While many previous…
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been implemented for environmental monitoring by using their capabilities of mobile sensing, autonomous navigation, and remote operation. However, in real-world applications, the limitations of on-board…
