Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for Surveying Marine Fauna: A Dugong Case Study
Aerial surveys of marine mammals are routinely conducted to assess and monitor species' habitat use and population status. In Australia, dugongs (Dugong dugon) are regularly surveyed and long-term datasets have formed the basis for defining habitat of high conservation value and risk assessments of human impacts. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) may facilitate more accurate, human-risk free, and...
متن کاملSurveillance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Using Probability Collectives
A rising deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles in complex environment operations requires advanced coordination and planning methods. We address the problem of multi-UAV-based area surveillance and collision avoidance. The surveillance problem contains non-linear components and non-linear constraints which makes the optimization problem a hard one. We propose discretization of the problem base...
متن کاملReconfigurable Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have been developing dramatically due to wars and miniaturisation of technology, which has made the UAV industry a very lucrative business. Research organisations have been funded by various research committees or military groups to push UAV developments at a very fast pace. Although these UAVs are high in capability, they are limited to a single use application ...
متن کاملAutonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
This report presents a technology warning assessment based on National Academies' methodology. The particular technology area analyzed relates to fully autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (AUAVs) from the perspective of the United States government with the objective to assess AUAV technology with the goal of strongly enabling, promoting and increasing economic growth. Focus The scope of this r...
متن کاملTowards Multimodal Omnidirectional Obstacle Detection for Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Limiting factors for increasing autonomy and complexity of truly autonomous systems (without external sensing and control) are onboard sensing and onboard processing power. In this paper, we propose a hardware setup and processing pipeline that allows a fully autonomous UAV to perceive obstacles in (almost) all directions in its surroundings. Different sensor modalities are applied in order tak...
