...Nora M. Nieminski; Stephan A. Graham Abstract: The ability to view and characterize outcrops that are difficult to study from the ground is greatly improved by aerial investigation. We describe the application of flying a small, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to collect photographic data...

...Callum Walter; Alexander Braun; Georgia Fotopoulos ABSTRACT The development of a functional unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) mounted aeromagnetic system requires integrating a magnetometer payload onboard a UAV platform in a manner that preserves the integrity of the total magnetic field measurements...

...Kathryn M. Bateman; Randolph T. Williams; Thomas F. Shipley; Basil Tikoff; Terry Pavlis; Cristina G. Wilson; Michele L. Cooke; Ake Fagereng Abstract Field geologists are increasingly using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones), although their use involves significant cognitive challenges...

...Jordan A. Carey; Nicholas Pinter; Alexandra J. Pickering; Carol S. Prentice; Stephen B. Delong ABSTRACT The combination of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photography with structure-from-motion (SfM) digital photogrammetry provides a quickly deployable and cost-effective method for monitoring...

... an exploration system, facilitating the acquisition in these areas by delivering the receivers from the sky using unmanned aerial vehicles. Air dropping of the sensors in vegetated areas results in an irregular geometry for the acquisition. This irregularity can limit the application of conventional surface wave...

... using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) remote sensing systems offer great flexibility and high efficiency with the capability to obtain high-resolution images, which can reflect actual damage to affected areas intuitively. Consequently, UAV remote sensing has become a convenient and important means...
