Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) Research Opportunities

The Use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) in Agriculture

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) represent technological developments used for precision agriculture. They provide high-resolution images taken from crops and when specific indices are applied, useful outputs for farm management decision-making are produced. The current paper provides a literature review on the use of UAVs in agriculture and specific applications are presented.

Review of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for Marine Surveys

designing unmanned aerial vehicle based on neuro-fuzzy systems

در این پایان نامه، کنترل نرو-فازی در پرنده هدایت پذیر از دور (پهپاد) استفاده شده است ابتدا در روش پیشنهادی اول، کنترل کننده نرو-فازی توسط مجموعه اطلاعات یک کنترل کننده pid به صورت off-line آموزش دیده است و در روش دوم یک کنترل کننده نرو-فازی on-line مبتنی بر شناسایی سیستم توسط شبکه عصبی rbf پیشنهاد شده است. سپس کاربرد این کنترل کننده در پهپاد بررسی شده است و مقایسه ای ما بین کنترل کننده های معمو...

Water Plume Temperature Measurements by an Unmanned Aerial System (UAS)

We report on the development and testing of a proof of principle water temperature measurement system deployed on an unmanned aerial system (UAS), for field measurements of thermal discharges into water. The primary elements of the system include a quad-copter UAS to which has been integrated, for the first time, both a thermal imaging infrared (IR) camera and an immersible probe that can be di...
