| Summary: | The main objective of this paper is to investigate the potential of using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as a platform to collect
geospatial data for rapid response applications, especially in hard-to-access and hazardous areas. The UAVs are low-cost mapping
vehicles, and they are easy to handle and deploy in-field. These characteristics make UAVs ideal candidates for rapid-response and
disaster mitigation scenarios. The majority of the available UAV systems are not capable of real-time/near real-time data processing.
This paper introduces a low-cost UAV-based multi-sensor mapping payload which supports real-time processing and can be effectively
used in rapid-response applications. The paper introduces the main components of the system, and provides an overview of the
proposed payload architecture. Then, it introduces the implementation details of the major building blocks of the system. Finally, the
paper presents our conclusions and the future work, in order to achieve real-time/near real-time data processing and product delivery
capabilities. |
