Remote sensing of grassland with contaminated soil using the spectral red-edge

, 2009
In most cases contaminants are concealed in soil and under vegetation and therefore cannot be measured directly by remote sensing. However, soil contaminants were detectedusing the spectral red-edge to indicate vegetation stress caused by the presence ...

Intelligent Sky Guardians (InSkyGuard): An Aerial Robotic Swarm for Autonomous Detection and Entrapment of Rogue Multirotors

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Intelligent Sky Guardians (InSkyGuard) is introduced as a four‐drone swarm that autonomously detects, tracks, and safely captures rogue drones using a coordinated net system. Computer vision and leader–follower control architecture enable synchronized enclosure, while integrated failsafes enhance system reliability. Validated through closed‐environment
