Integrating the various embedded devices and systems in our environment enables an
Internet of Things (IoT) for a smart city. The IoT will generate tremendous amount of data that …

In recent years, since researchers began to study on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs),
UAVs have been integrated into today's everyday life, including civilian area and military …

We consider the problem of autonomously flying Miniature Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) in indoor
environments such as home and office buildings. The primary long range sensor in these …

This paper provides a systematic, comprehensive, up-to-date study of the various artificial
intelligence (AI) techniques on the detection and classification of faults on power …

Despite the recent progress in both pixel-domain and compressed-domain video object
tracking, the need for a tracking framework with both reasonable accuracy and reasonable …

Visual sensing of the environment is crucial for flying an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and
is a centerpiece of many related applications. The ability to run computer vision and …

Altitude is one of the most important parameters to be known for an Unmanned Aerial
Vehicle (UAV) especially during critical maneuvers such as landing or steady flight. In this …

This work aims to study and compare different range finders applied to altitude sensing on a
rotating wings UAV. The specific application is the altitude maintenance for the fluid …

Autonomous landing in non-cooperative environments is a key step toward full autonomy of
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Existing studies have addressed this problem by finding …

Abstract Machine learning has proved a powerful tool for artificial intelligence and data
mining problems. However, its success has usually relied on having a good feature …
