Human‐in‐the‐Loop Swarms: A Bionic Swarm Approach to Real‐World Soil Mapping
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This article introduces the “Bionic Swarm,” a novel system that lowers the barriers to real‐world swarm validation by abstracting difficult hardware tasks to app‐guided human agents. We demonstrate the system's utility through the experimental validation of a geotechnical soil‐mapping swarm algorithm and show superior performance to baseline approaches

Oil spill detection by imaging radars: Challenges and pitfalls
Remote Sensing of Environment, 2017 We challenge the often-made claim that fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radars (SARs) are beneficial for discriminating between mineral oil films and biogenic slicks. We conjecture that the results obtained from previous analyses of spaceborne polarimetric SAR data, which seem to show differences in the scattering mechanism between radar ...
