Abstract:
UAVs are a disruptive technology bringing new geographic data and information to many application domains. UASs are similar to other geographic imagery systems so existing frameworks are applicable. But the diversity of UAVs as platforms along with the diversity of available sensors are presenting challenges in the processing and creation of geospatial products. Efficient processing and dissemination of the data is achieved using software and systems that implement open standards. The challenges identified point to the need for use of existing standards and extending standards. Results from th

Abstract. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are increasingly utilized for package delivery due to their efficiency and automation capabilities. UAVs can execute autonomous flight missions using Global Positioning System (GPS)-based navigation. However, challenges arise in the final stage of delivery, known as the last-mile delivery problem. The limitations of GPS-based navigation, the absence of recipient authentication, and shifting drop-off points create reliability and safety concerns. External factors such as varied environmental topography further contribute to delivery inaccuracies, highli

Abstract:
Tracking unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in outdoor scenes poses significant challenges due to their dynamic motion, diverse sizes, and changes in appearance. This paper proposes an efficient hybrid tracking method for UAVs, comprising a detector, tracker, and integrator. The integrator combines detection and tracking, and updates the target’s features online while tracking, thereby addressing the aforementioned challenges. The online update mechanism ensures robust tracking by handling object deformation, diverse types of UAVs, and changes in background. We conducted experiments on custom and

Abstract:
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, also known as UAVs, play an increasingly important part in daily life. However, the ever-increasing number of UAVs pose an ever-increasing threat to the transportation infrastructure. Despite their precision and general efficiency, infrastructural-scale Unmanned Aerial Systems (UASs) have a disadvantage regarding their capability of being implanted in the ecosystem. There are several reasons for this, but the primary bottleneck is that their systems are not transparent to society and have very complicated processes. As a result, the authors decided to investigate the

Abstract:
When using UAVs in the agricultural industry, an urgent task is to analyze the efficiency of UAV transport and technological cycle (TTC) operations. Research related to the analysis of the influence of operating parameters of spraying UAVs on droplet deposition and the biological effectiveness of pesticide use reflects the indirect influence of these characteristics on the implementation of transport and technological cycles of agricultural UAVs. The paper presents a description of four typical UAVs used for plant protection in precision agriculture in China, their main technical parameters ar

Abstract:
Small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) can provide facilities in various applications. Compared with single UAV system, small UAVs based cooperative UAV system can bring advantages such as higher efficiency and safety. Therefore, it is necessary to design a robust multi-agent cooperative flight controller to coordinate a group of small UAVs for stable formation flights. This paper investigates the problem of consensus-based formation control for a multi-UAV system. Firstly, We choose a simplified model with nonholonomic constraints for UAV dynamics. Secondly, using the algebraic theory and back

Abstract:
The purpose of the study: Regularized solutions for intelligent agriculture, including the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), are considered for agricultural applications. UAVs combine information and communication technologies, robots, artificial intelligence, big data and the Internet of Things. Agricultural UAVs have great capabilities, and their use has expanded in all areas of agriculture, including pesticide and fertilizer spraying, seed sowing, as well as growth assessment and mapping. Accordingly, it is expected that the agricultural UAV market will continue to grow with the corre

Abstract:
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are being used in many applications,such as surveillance and product delivery. Currently, manyUAVs are controlled by WiFi or proprietary radio technologies.However, it is envisioned that 5G and beyond 5G (B5G) networkscan connect the UAVs and increase the overall security due to improvedcontrol by operators and governments. Soon, UAVs willalso be used as mobile radio base stations to extend reach or improvethe network capacity. All this motivates intense research on5G technologies for supporting UAV-based applications. However,there are currently few simulation

Abstract:
Armed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs)—often referred to as drones—have become a prominent and sometimes controversial means of delivering lethal force in the 21st century. Yet the international community is some way from reaching consensus on how established international principles are to be interpreted and applied to the use of armed UAVs. This situation is unsatisfactory for promoting civilian protection in conflict, the maintenance of peace and security, or the rule of law. Moreover, UAVs have unique characteristics that make them particularly susceptible to misuse in comparison to other t

Abstract:
Armed UAVs are rapidly spreading to more states, and future systems are more likely to be survivable. In particular, the use of UAVs could contribute to conflict escalation, particularly in already complex and unstable strategic environments, and in ways that do not yet seem to be considered. The paper Armed UAVs in conflict escalation and inter-state crises presents these challenges and suggests what it would be desirable for States to develop understandings to form the basis for appropriate standards and best practices to reduce risks.
