    Abstract : During the last century, various countries' armed forces have used unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as drones. In recent years, strives have been made to develop small commercial drones that have allowed the general public to afford and use them for recreational purposes. READ MORE

  4. 28. Testing aerosol vertical profiling methods with portable instruments on unmanned and manned aircraft

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Ellen Grace Soroka; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Aerosols; Vertical Profile; Black Carbon; PM2.5; Nanoparticles; UAV; Drone; Master degree thesis; 30 credits in Atmospheric Science Biogeochemical Cycles; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis employed several portable sensors on board an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and manned aircraft in order to test new methods of measuring vertical profiles of aerosol particles and contribute to knowledge of aerosol distributions in the atmosphere. More data in this area is required to improve atmospheric modelling and future climate scenarios. READ MORE

  5. 29. Glacier front variatons in Sweden: 2015-2022

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Martin Houssais; [2023]
    Keywords : Swedish glaciers; Glacier front variation; Remote sensing; MaQiT; Sentinel-2; Handheld GNSS; UAV photogrammetry; Total station;

    Abstract : This study aims at increasing the amount of data available on recent past Swedish glacier front variations, at improving the knowledge on the present behavior of these glaciers, and at contributing to the defnition of the guideline for future of glacier front observations in Sweden. To do so, the study proposes Sentinel-2 based yearly front variation measurements for 22 Swedish glaciers between 2015 and 2022, calculated based on the multicentreline approach of the MaQiT tool.

  6. 30. Coverage Motion Planning for Search and Rescue Missions : A Costmap Based Approach for fixed wing UAVs using Simulated Annealing &Cubic Splines

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)

    Author : Fredrik Rönnkvist; [2023]
    Keywords : Motion planning; Path planning; Cubic splines; Coverage path planning.;

    Abstract : The present study proposes a novel approach to Coverage Path Planning for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) inspired by the Orienteering Problem. The main goal is to develop an algorithm suitable for Search and Rescue Missions, which can produce a search pattern with dynamical constrains, that is not limited to the traditional back-and-forth motion or spiral patterns.
