Review of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)
Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) is an emerging technology with a tremendous potential to revolutionize warfare and to enable new civilian applications. It is integral part of future urban civil and military applications. It technologically matures enough to be integrated into civil society. The importance of UAS in scientific applications has been thoroughly demonstrated in recent years (DoD, 2...
متن کاملEmbedded Reasoning for Atmospheric Science Using Unmanned Aircraft Systems
The ability to understand and predict the dynamic behavior of our planet’s environment over multiple spatial and time scales remains an outstanding challenge for science and engineering (National Research Council 2007). For the past 35+ years, sensors on spaceborne platforms have increasingly surveilled most of the Earths surface and atmosphere. However, a summary of US severe weather data over...
متن کاملOn-Board Visual Tracking with Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS)
This paper presents the development of a real time tracking algorithm that runs on a 1.2 GHz PC/104 computer onboard a small UAV. The algorithm uses zero mean normalized cross correlation to detect and locate an object in the image. A Kalman filter is used to make the tracking algorithm computationally efficient. Object position in an image frame is predicted using the motion model and a search...
متن کاملAutomated detection and enumeration of marine wildlife using unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and thermal imagery
Estimating animal populations is critical for wildlife management. Aerial surveys are used for generating population estimates, but can be hampered by cost, logistical complexity, and human risk. Additionally, human counts of organisms in aerial imagery can be tedious and subjective. Automated approaches show promise, but can be constrained by long setup times and difficulty discriminating anim...
متن کاملReliability Assessment of Actuator Architectures for Unmanned Aircraft ?
A reliability assessment framework is presented for small unmanned aerial vehicles. The analysis considers several candidate architectures with different numbers of controllable surfaces and servos. It is assumed that a servo fault detection algorithm is available and affected by known rates of false alarms and missed detections. The aircraft flight envelope is analyzed to determine the fault l...
