Modeling of an unmanned hybrid aerial vehicle

open access: yes2014 IEEE Conference on Control Applications (CCA), 2014
In this paper, the mathematical modeling of ahybrid aerial vehicle is presented. This vehicle is a combinationof a fixed-wing aircraft and a multirotor helicopter. Thisvehicle is thus capable of vertical take off and landing (VTOL)and of cruising forward flight.

Performance Evaluation of Super‐Resolution Techniques for Characterization and Phenotyping of Commodity Crops Using Multispectral Imagery

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study assesses the suitability and performance of single‐image super‐resolution methods when applied directly, and without any fine‐tuning, to multispectral images of maize and sunflower crops. It evaluates not only super‐resolution performance, but also the preservation of spectral integrity and vegetation‐index reliability. Multispectral imagery

A guidance system for unmanned air vehicles

open access: yes2013 21st Signal Processing and Communications Applications Conference (SIU), 2013
Unmanned air vehicle system is composed of control station, payload, air vehicle, navigation and communication subsystems. Among these, navigation and guidance are most important subsystems. By using the lateral and vertical navigation guidance systems, the planned flight transition of the UAV can be realized from departure waypoint to the target.

Optimizing Strategies for Non‐Invasive Prospection of Settlements in the Intertidal Zone: A Case Study From the Centre of the Drowned Medieval Village of Tolsende (Scheldt Estuary, the Netherlands)

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Medieval and early modern drowned villages in the intertidal zone of the Scheldt estuary (the Netherlands) constitute intriguing yet largely understudied components of north‐western Europe's underwater cultural heritage. Despite their high archaeological potential as time capsules of past settlement landscapes, research has remained limited ...
