A Survey of Design Considerations of Optical Imaging Stabilization Systems for Small Unmanned Aerial Systems
Rodin, Christopher D; Andrade, Fabio; Hovenburg, Anthony Reinier; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Optical imaging systems are one of the most common sensors used for collecting data with small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS). Plenty of research exists which present custom-made optical imaging systems for specific missions. ... -
Autonomous UAV surveillance of a ship’s path with MPC for Maritime Situational Awareness
Andrade, Fabio; Johansen, Tor Arne; Storvold, Rune (Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2017)Maritime Situational Awareness is crucial in maritime operations to identify threats and to deal with them as soon as possible. These threats can be pirates in shipping operations, icebergs when sailing in the northern sea ... -
Autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Search and Rescue Missions Using Real-Time Cooperative Model Predictive Control
Andrade, Fabio; Hovenburg, Anthony Reinier; de Lima, L. N.; Rodin, Christopher D; Johansen, Tor Arne; Storvold, Rune; Correia, Carlos; Haddad, Diego (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have recently been used in a wide variety of applications due to their versatility, reduced cost, rapid deployment, among other advantages. Search and Rescue (SAR) is one of the most prominent ... -
Contingency Path Planning for Hybrid-electric UAS
Hovenburg, Anthony Reinier; Andrade, Fabio; Rodin, Christopher D; Johansen, Tor Arne (Chapter, 2017)This article presents a path planning optimization method which aims to mitigate the risks in the event of a critical engine or generator failure in hybrid-electric UAS. This is achieved through continuous determination ... -
Long range path planning using an aircraft performance model for battery powered sUAS equipped with icing protection system
Hovenburg, Anthony Reinier; Andrade, Fabio; Hann, Richard; Rodin, Christopher D; Johansen, Tor Arne (Journal article, 2020)Earlier studies demonstrate that en-route atmospheric parameters, such as winds and icing conditions, significantly affect the safety, and in-flight performance of unmanned aerial systems. Nowadays, the inclusion of ... -
Object Classification in Thermal Images using Convolutional Neural Networks for Search and Rescue Missions with Unmanned Aerial Systems
Rodin, Christopher D; de Lima, L. N.; Andrade, Fabio; Haddad, D. B.; Johansen, Tor Arne; Storvold, Rune (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)In recent years, the use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) has become commonplace in a wide variety of tasks due to their relatively low cost and ease of operation. In this paper, we explore the use of UAS in maritime Search ... -
Path Planning of Multi-UAS Communication Relay by Decentralized MPC
Andrade, Fabio; Rodin, Christopher D; Hovenburg, Anthony Reinier; Johansen, Tor Arne; Storvold, Rune (Chapter, 2018)When using Autonomous Surface Vehicles (ASV) in marine operations, long distances and/or low power transmissions may severely limit the communication between the ASV and the ground station. One solution to overcome this ...
