Remote sensing hail damage on maize crops in smallholder farms using data acquired by remotely piloted aircraft system

open access: yesSmart Agricultural Technology, 2023
Smallholder farmers reside in marginal environments typified by dryland maize-based farming systems. Despite the significant contribution of smallholder farmers to food production, they are vulnerable to extreme weather events such as hailstorms, floods ...

Artificial intelligence‐powered plant phenomics: Progress, challenges, and opportunities

open access: yesThe Plant Phenome Journal, Volume 9, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Artificial intelligence (AI), a key driver of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is being rapidly integrated into plant phenomics to automate sensing, accelerate data analysis, and support decision‐making in phenomic prediction and genomic selection.

Design and practical deployment of a network-centric remotely piloted aircraft system [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Communications Magazine, 2014
Remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPASs) are gaining more are more relevance during the last decade since more applications are being enabled by lighter planes with increasing autonomy, higher ceilings, and more powerful transmission technologies. The integration of the RPAS as part of network-centric warfare would be a very important milestone to ...

Effectiveness of optical, digital, and hybrid zoom equipped drones for use in reading livestock ear tags for individual animal identification

open access: yesDrone Systems and Applications
Predicting how advertised zoom capabilities of commercially available drones being deployed for animal management will perform can be difficult, as promotional and marketing materials supplied by the manufacturer do not necessarily reflect real-world ...

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, Volume 12, Issue 4, Page 645-660, August 2026.
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 ...

Social network dynamics under experimental manipulations of predation risk and food abundance in wild rock hyraxes

open access: yesJournal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1339-1357, August 2026.
This study combines replicated experimental manipulation, social network analysis, network permutations and meta‐analysis to disentangle active from spatially‐induced changes in animal network structure in the wild. It reveals that short‐term environmental changes primarily alter space use, with limited effects on social structure.

Remotely piloted aircraft systems: the introduction of the ‘flying watchtower’

open access: yesDigital War, 2023
AbstractThis commentary will contest that a lack of deep critical thinking on the nature of air power and its relationship with those it overflies, surveils, and bombs by air power practitioners can lead to a void in engagement with the public and create distrust. It will discuss how the unique characteristics of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS)

RAPID: Real‐time animal pattern re‐identification on edge devices, an open‐source tool for field deployment

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 8, Page 2379-2394, August 2026.
Abstract Automatic re‐identification of animals has significant potential to address pressing ecological and conservation challenges through improved population monitoring, individual health assessment and detailed behavioural analyses. Although numerous computer‐vision‐based solutions have been proposed and many achieve high accuracy, most remain ...

Towards Multiscale and Multisource Remote Sensing Mineral Exploration Using RPAS: A Case Study in the Lofdal Carbonatite-Hosted REE Deposit, Namibia

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Traditional exploration techniques usually rely on extensive field work supported by geophysical ground surveying. However, this approach can be limited by several factors such as field accessibility, financial cost, area size, climate, and public ...
