Simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) techniques are widely researched, since they allow the simultaneous creation of a map sensors’ pose estimation in an unknown environment. Visual-based SLAM play significant role this field, as based on low-cost small sensor system, which guarantees those advantages compared to other sensor-based techniques. The literature presents different approaches methods implement visual-based systems. Among variety publications, beginner domain may find...

Abstract Locating radioactive hot spots presents a significant challenge for the nuclear industry and security applications, such as waste management, decommissioning, radiation protection, management of accidents. The detection fast-neutron emissions offers an alternative technique to gamma imaging verifying location materials, particularly in cases where imagers face challenges detection. In this study, we present performance prototype gamma-neutron system based on custom-fabricated...
