Galileo and EGNOS as an asset for UTM safety and security [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
GAUSS (Galileo-EGNOS as an Asset for UTM Safety and Security) is a H2020 project1 that aims at designing and developing high performance positioning systems for drones within the U-Space framework focusing on UAS (Unmanned Aircraft System) VLL (Very Low ...

Optimal allocation of defibrillator drones in mountainous regions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Responding to emergencies in Alpine terrain is quite challenging as air ambulances and mountain rescue services are often confronted with logistics challenges and adverse weather conditions that extend the response times required to provide life-saving ...

Semi‐automated seal detection on the Western Antarctic Peninsula: an unsupervised machine learning approach for detecting ice seals in aerial survey data

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
This study presents a semi‐automated, rule‐based image analysis pipeline to detect ice seals in aerial surveys of the Western Antarctic Peninsula during an unusually low sea ice year. By using simple hierarchical clustering instead of deep learning, the method substantially reduced human annotation effort while achieving 82% recall, identifying 758 ...

Classification of tree species and standing dead trees in Boreal forests using UAV‐based RGB, multispectral, and LiDAR point clouds

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
We evaluated single‐ and multi‐sensor UAV approaches for classifying tree species and standing dead trees in boreal forests, focusing on key biodiversity indicators such as European aspen. Using spectral and structural features extracted from RGB, multispectral (MSP), and LiDAR point clouds for 1,205 field‐measured trees, we compared classification ...

Mapping Buried Steel Flowlines Using Geophysical Sensors on Small Drone Aircraft

open access: yesSPE Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition, 2020
Abstract This study evaluated magnetic surveys using small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) for the mapping of small diameter, buried pipelines, particularly flowlines. The study found that 2-inch diameter, steel pipelines buried 3-ft. deep can be confidently mapped by a total field, atomic magnetometer flown at 8 m above ground level, the

Accounting for animal movement during aerial imaging surveys

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Animals are not stationary during aerial surveys; if their movements are related to the movement of the aerial platform, then bias can be introduced into subsequent population count estimates. We sought to establish a framework for assessing the impacts of animal movement on count error and platform bias by comparing aggregated counts and relative ...

Climate‐Driven Mangrove Dieback and Recovery: A Case Study in Albert and Leichhardt Rivers, Australia

open access: yesRemote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Cycles of dieback and recovery drove mangrove forest dynamics at the Albert and Leichhardt Rivers (Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia) over 36 years (1987–2023). Landward margins were the most affected by reduced tidal inundation when the alignment of low lunar declination suppressed tidal range and extreme El Niño phases lowered mean sea level.

From armed roots to airline routes in South America: A dual imprinting perspective

open access: yesStrategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Reserch Summary We propose that founding partner relationships can leave distinct imprints on organizations that differ in durability and in how they respond to subsequent changes involving the founding partner. Examining South American airlines founded between 1919 and 1984, we argue and find that such relationships simultaneously create an ...

Research on Low-Altitude Aircraft Point Cloud Generation Method Using Single Photon Counting Lidar

open access: yesPhotonics
To address the deficiency of aircraft point cloud training data for low-altitude environment perception systems, a method termed APCG (aircraft point cloud generation) is proposed. APCG can generate aircraft point cloud data in the single photon counting
