Research on a Drone‐Based Vacant Parking Detection System

IEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 6, Page 851-857, June 2026.
It can be difficult to know which spaces are available in parking lots and bicycle parking areas, so knowing the availability status is necessary for efficient parking. Therefore, in this study, we developed the drone that can display the availability status. Availability is determined by whether it can read a QR code attached to the ground. To conduct

Terrestrial Analogs to Titan for Geophysical Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Saturn's moon Titan exhibits remarkable parallels to the Earth in many geophysical and geological processes not found elsewhere in the solar system at the present day. These include a nitrogen atmosphere with a condensible gas—methane—replacing the Earth's water, leading to an active meteorology with rainfall and surface manifestations ...
