Journal of the Society of Automotive Engineers Malaysia, 2021 Flapping-Wing Micro Air Vehicles (FW-MAVs) are small hand-held flying vehicles that can maneuver in constrained space owing to their lightweight, low aspect ratio and the ability to fly in a low Reynolds number environment. In this study, the aerodynamic characteristics such as time-averaged lift (CL avg) and time-averaged drag (CD

Nonparametric background modelling and segmentation to detect micro air vehicles using RGB-D sensor [PDF]
International Journal of Micro Air Vehicles, 2019 A novel approach to detect micro air vehicles in GPS-denied environments using an external RGB-D sensor is presented. The nonparametric background subtraction technique incorporating several innovative mechanisms allows the detection of high-speed moving micro air vehicles by combining colour and depth information.
