Use of Multi-Rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicles for Radioactive Source Search
In recent years, many radioactive sources have been lost or stolen during use or transportation. When the radioactive source is lost or stolen, it is challenging but imperative to quickly locate the source before it causes damage. Nowadays, source search
