  1. 41. Direct multispectral photogrammetry for UAV-based snow depth measurements

    University essay from KTH/Geoinformatik

    Author : Kathrin Maier; [2019]
    Keywords : Unmanned Aerial Vehicles UAV ; snow depth; direct photogrammetry; multispectral imagery; cryosphere;

    Abstract : Due to the changing climate and inherent atypically occurring meteorological events in the Arctic regions, more accurate snow quality predictions are needed in order to support the Sámi reindeer herding communities in northern Sweden that struggle to adapt to the rapidly changing Arctic climate. Spatial snow depth distribution is a crucial parameter not only to assess snow quality but also for multiple environmental research and social land use purposes. READ MORE

  4. 43. UAV based hyperspectral grassland monitoring in an alpine shallow erosion area : lessons learnt from classifying vegetation indicating shallow erosion risk

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : John Peitz; [2019]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Shallow Erosion; Blaiken; UAV; Hyperspectral Imaging; Alps; Grassland; Spectral Signatures; Geomatics; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : UAV based hyperspectral grassland monitoring in an alpine shallow erosion area Recent research in the Alps found that a reduction in grassland management is correlated to an increase in a certain type of shallow erosion areas called blaiken. This change also entails changes to the dominant grassland vegetation. READ MORE

  6. 45. Evaluating and developing Flow Motion Technology in alpine skiing

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

    Author : Linn Rilegård; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Alpine skiing is divided into several sports, such as slalom, freeride, giant slalom and downhill. In all these disciplines, time is an important factor. Competing against each other and against the clock makes every hundred of a second count. Equipment and technology are constantly improved to help the skier reach higher results. READ MORE
