چکیده
This contribution addresses the remote sensing chapter of the USE HAAS Study, a Specific Support Action of the European Union Sixth Framework Program, aiming at producing a Strategic Research Agenda for High Altitude Aircraft and Airships. After a brief presentation of the objectives and methodology of the USE HAAS Study, the Strategic Research Agenda for remote sensing shall be addressed by considering candidate applications (with particular attention on fire monitoring and cartography) and basic system buliding blocks (i.e., platform, payload, downlink, processing facility, user portal).

Low-altitude Unmanned Airship Photogrammetry System
Constrained by the satellites orbits, Satellite Remote Sensing is difficult to achieve timeliness requirements. General aerial manned aircraft Remote Sensing is always delayed by the bad weather. Compared with Unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned Airship can fly more lower and slower and you can get more clearer image. So it is more suitable for large scale mapping and other engineering requireme...
متن کاملAn Unmanned Airship Thermal Infrared Remote Sensing System for Low-Altitude and High Spatial Resolution Monitoring of Urban Thermal Environments: Integration and an Experiment
Satellite remote sensing data that lacks spatial resolution and timeliness is of limited ability to access urban thermal environment on a micro scale. This paper presents an unmanned airship low-altitude thermal infrared remote sensing system (UALTIRSS), which is composed of an unmanned airship, an onboard control and navigation subsystem, a task subsystem, a communication subsystem, and a grou...
متن کاملDevelopment of an Aerodynamic Model and Control Law Design for a High Altitude Airship
Lighter-than air vehicles are an attractive solution for many applications requiring a sustained airborne presence. The buoyancy force provides an energy-free form of lift, offering a non-traditional approach to long-duration missions for which traditional aircraft are not well-suited. Potential applications include roving or hovering surveillance and communication utilities for both military a...
متن کاملMultispectral imaging systems for airborne remote sensing to support agricultural production management
This study investigated three different types of multispectral imaging systems for airborne remote sensing to support management in agricultural application and production. The three systems have been used in agricultural studies. They range from low-cost to relatively high-cost, manually operated to automated, multispectral composite imaging with a single camera and integrated imaging with cus...
متن کاملRemote sensing application in evaluation of soil characteristics in desert areas
Soil is one of the most important natural resources covering a large area of the land surface. Soil plays a vital role in biosphere processes, such as energy balance, hydrology, biochemistry, and biological productivity. It supports plants that supply foods, fibers, drugs, and some other human needs. Conversely, desert regions include about one third of earth lands and these regions have increa...
