Sensing and Artificial Perception for Robots in Precision Forestry: A Survey
Ferreira, João Filipe; Portugal, David; Andrada, Maria Eduarda; Machado, Pedro; Rocha, Rui P.; Peixoto, PauloArtificial perception for robots operating in outdoor natural environments, including forest scenarios, has been the object of a substantial amount of research for decades. Regardless, this has proven to be one of the most difficult research areas in robotics and has yet to be robustly solved. This happens namely due to difficulties in dealing with environmental conditions (trees and relief, weather conditions,...
Mapping of Potential Fuel Regions Using Uncrewed Aerial Vehicles for Wildfire P...
Andrada, Maria Eduarda; Russell, David; Arevalo-Ramirez, Tito; Kuang, Winnie; Kantor, George; Yandun, FranciscoThis paper presents a comprehensive forest mapping system using a customized drone payload equipped with Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR), cameras, a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors. The goal is to develop an efficient solution for collecting accurate forest data in dynamic environments and to highlight potential wildfire regions of interest to support p...
