This paper presents an effective methodology for the simplified representation of the kinematics and the horizontal flight control of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). A real UAV has been used as a model in this project. The flight behavior of the UAV has been modeled in terms of simple analytic relationships, which proved very helpful in representing UAV’s actual horizontal motion. A fuzzy cont...

The system consists of three tiers; Wireless Undergr...

Civil applications for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have increased rapidly over the last few years. In the realm of civil applications, many aircraft carry cameras that are physically fixed to the airframe. While this yields a simple and robust remote sensing platform, the imagery quality diminishes with increasing attitude errors. A rudder augmented trajectory correction method for small un...

Recent trends in communication technologies and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) find its application several areas such as healthcare, surveillance, transportation, etc. Besides, the integration of Internet things (IoT) with cloud computing environment offers benefits for UAV communication. At same time, scene classification is one major research UAV-enabled MEC systems. In imagery, efficient i...

As missions of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles become increasingly elaborate and the level of collaboration between multiple vehicle increases, efficient means of communication enabling data exchange among vehicles and ground elements is the key to a successful accomplishment of the objectives. This paper describes the design, implementation, and integration of a publish/subscribelike message passing ...

A technique to obtain high resolution atmospheric data using small mobile sensors is presented. A fluid based control scheme using smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) is implemented to perform field measurements in a leaderfollower arrangement for a team of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) equipped with environmental sensors. A virtual leader is created by using a reduced density SPH particle ...
