Performing two independent surveys in 2016 and 2017 over a flat sample plot (6700 m 2 ), we compare snow-depth measurements from Unmanned-Aerial-System (UAS) photogrammetry new high-resolution laser-scanning device (MultiStation) with manual probing, the standard technique used by operational services around world. While previous comparisons already laser scanners, tested for first time MultiStation, which has different measurement principle is thus capable of millimetric accuracy. Both...
ABSTRACT Alosa fallax (Lacépède, 1803) is an anadromous fish which utilizes European rivers for spawning. As many species, Twaite shad populations are declining due to river damming and hydromorphological alterations, impact their spawning sites. In this study, we developed mesohabitat suitability criteria the period of A. by analysing geomorphic units (GUs), with local habitat attribute, in prefers spawn. The study was conducted Tagliamento River (NE Italy). Habitat depiction performed...
In this paper we present the electromagnetic modeling and beam pattern measurements of a 16-elements ultra wideband sparse random test array for low frequency instrument Square Kilometer Array telescope. We discuss importance small platform development technologies techniques towards final telescope, highlighting most relevant aspects its design. also describe simulations work as well embedded-element using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle system. The latter are helpful both validation models...
Abstract. The purpose of this paper is to discuss how much the phases flight planning and setting camera orientation can affect a UAVs photogrammetric survey. test site chosen for these evaluations was Rocca San Silvestro, medieval monumental castle near Livorno, Tuscany (Italy). During fieldwork, different sets data have been acquired using parameters set up plans. Acquisition with both nadiral oblique performed, as well flights direction lines (related shape object survey). datasets were...
A novel antenna pattern measurement technique has been recently developed exploiting the capabilities of a micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) as far-field test-source. This is suitable for characterizing VHF antennas such those low-frequency radio astronomy. paper presents some measurements performed on Square Kilometer Array Log-periodic Antenna (SKALA), which selected receiving element Low Frequency Aperture (LFAA).
The characterization of VHF and UHF antennas is very challenging owing to the low-operative frequency. This paper presents a novel technique (originally developed for radio-astronomical applications) that can be suitable measure ground-based aerospace in real installation conditions, with an accurate cost-effective method which does not require additional infrastructures. system mainly consists micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), equipped both RF transmitter antenna, properly designed...
Recently, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) have opened up unparalleled opportunities for alpine glacier monitoring, as they allow reconstructing extensive and high-resolution 3D models. In order to evaluate annual ice flow velocities volume variations, six yearly measurements were carried out between 2015 2020 on the debris-covered Belvedere Glacier (Anzasca Valley, Italian Alps) with low-cost fixed-wing UAVs quadcopters. Every year, ground control points check measured GNSS. Images acquired...
Abstract. Extracting accurate bathymetric information from clear, shallow waters in complex riverine environments can be challenging, but it is crucial for many applications, such as hydraulic modeling, ecological monitoring, and sediment transport analysis. Multi-view stereo photogrammetry (MVS-SfM) has emerged a promising technique acquiring high-resolution data aerial imagery. However, the accuracy of MVS-SfM affected by various factors, including water refraction, which distort depth...
The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) technology has been recently used to develop a pattern measurement system for low-frequency arrays in their real installation conditions. This paper presents the most important results that have obtained on Italian Medicina Array Demonstrator (MAD).
A novel antenna measurement strategy has been developed to characterize both the embedded-element and array patterns in real installation conditions at low frequencies (50 MHz - 650 MHz) [1]. It exploits a micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) as far-field test source. The system demonstrated good performance on copolarization radiation pattern of VHF UHF antennas. Several results with reference antennas have published [2, 3]. Further experiments performed Aperture Array Verification System...
The use of a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System (RPAS) for the characterization and monitoring landslides has been widely improved in last decade. In particular, this system is particularly effective study areas prone to geohazards. Zones affected by landslides, such as rock slides debris flows, are often quite critical terms accessibility due unstable blocs that can strongly limit direct access studied area. paper, we present case Ponte Formazza NW Italian Alps. June 2019, massive complex...
