For a quadrotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), this paper proposes an adaptive sliding mode control (SMC) strategy enhanced with a disturbance observer to attain precise trajectory and attitude tracking performance while compensating for the detrimen...
In Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-denied environments, image registration has emerged as a prominent approach to utilize visual information for estimating the position of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). However, traditional image-registra...
Unlike the roll motion of the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) controlled by the ailerons, the moving-mass actuated unmanned aerial vehicle (MAUAV) uses the motion of the mass block inside the wing to generate the roll moment. The light weight and sever...
A remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) survey of an area containing the eastern extremity of King George Island, including Cape Melville and an extensive part of Destruction Bay, as well as small offshore islands, was undertaken in December 2022....
This paper offers a comprehensive review of traditional and advanced stockpile volume-estimation techniques employed within both outdoor and indoor confined spaces, whether that be a terrestrial- or an aerial-based technique. Traditional methods, suc...
Wetlands possess significant ecological value and play a crucial role in the environment. Recent advancements in remote exploration technology have enabled a quantitative analysis of wetlands through surveys on the type of cover present. However, the...
This study investigates the use of small unoccupied aerial systems (sUAS) as a new remote sensing tool to identify and track the spatial distribution of wrack on coastal tidal marsh systems. We used sUAS to map the wrack movement in a Spartina altern...
The drone-small-cell-assisted air-ground integrated network is a promising architecture for enabling diverse vehicle applications. This paper presents a joint resource slicing and vehicle association framework for drone-assisted vehicular networks, w...
Rubber tree is one of the essential tropical economic crops, and rubber tree powdery mildew (PM) is the most damaging disease to the growth of rubber trees. Accurate and timely detection of PM is the key to preventing the large-scale spread of PM. Re...
The Antarctic atmosphere is rapidly changing, but there are few observations available in the interior of the continent to quantify this change due to few ground stations and satellite measurements. The Concordia station is located on the East Antarc...
