The database of satellite images covering the earth is growing extremely quickly and represents an important amount of data. The extension of this huge amount of data with images from very different sources and time of acquisition can provide a wide range of applications. The climate change monitoring could be more easily achieved or Natural disast...

The complexity of autonomous Aerial Manipulators (AMs), i.e. Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) + Robot Manipulator (RM), is growing faster as per our demand of being able to perform complex tasks. This complexity makes the control system to have to take into account somehow the RM dynamics, otherwise the overall behaviour of the system could be comprom...

The development of lightweight sensors compatible with mini unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has expanded the agronomical applications of remote sensing. Of particular interest in this paper are thermal sensors based on lightweight microbolometer technology. These are mainly used to assess crop water stress with thermal images where an accuracy grea...

This paper presents a new non-invasive technique of granulometric analysis based on the fusion of two imaging techniques, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)-based photogrammetry and optical digital granulometry. This newly proposed technique produces seamless coverage of a study site in order to analyze the granulometric properties of alluvium and obse...

Airspeed sensor faults are common causes for incidents with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) with pitot tube clogging or icing being the most common causes. Timely diagnosis of such faults or other artifacts in signals from airspeed sensing systems could potentially prevent crashes. This paper employs parameter adaptive estimators to provide analytic...
