Could have used this for our forestry resource measurements, which required expensive and time consuming surveys by road or helicopter. Further doing this to determine embedded tasks for resource analysis.
Drones can now scan terrain and excavations without human intervention by Aarhus University in Techexplore
Drone pilots may become superfluous in the future. New research from Aarhus University has allowed artificial intelligence to take over control of drones scanning and measuring terrain.
A research project at Aarhus University (AU) in collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) aims to make measuring and documenting gravel and limestone quarries much faster, cheaper and easier in the future.
The project has allowed artificial intelligence to take over the human-controlled drones currently being used for the task.
"We've made the entire process completely automatic. We tell the drone where to start, and the width of the wall or rock face we want to photograph, and then it flies zig-zag all the way along and lands automatically," says Associate Professor Erdal Kayacan, an expert in artificial intelligence and drones at the Department of Engineering at Aarhus University. ...
