Geo-Mapping and Visual Stitching to Support Landmine Detection Using a Low-Cost UAV

Mobile 3d Mapping with a Low-cost Uav System

In this contribution it is shown how an UAV system can be built at low costs. The components of the system, the equipment as well as the control software are presented. Furthermore an implemented programme for photogrammetric flight planning and its execution are described. The main focus of this contribution is on the generation of 3D point clouds from digital imagery. For this web services an...

GPS Jamming Detection in UAV Navigation Using Visual Odometry and HOD Trajectory Descriptor

Auto-navigating of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) in the outdoor environment is performed by using the Global positioning system (GPS) receiver. The power of the GPS signal on the earth surface is very low. This can affect the performance of GPS receivers in the environments contaminated with the other source of radio frequency interference (RFI). GPS jamming and spoofing are the most serious a...

Low-Cost, High-Fidelity Virtual Landmine Detection Training System

The development of a low-cost motion capture based landmine detection training system is presented in this paper. Two Nintendo Wii Remotes (Wiimotes) are used to form a stereo vision system to obtain the position and orientation of the simulated physical landmine detector. The position data is used to compute the distance between the detector and a virtual mine, and the distance is used to gene...
