Extent Of Damage

Growing social demand for access to spatial information spurs the rapid development of measurement methods and systems for registering the results of spatial evaluations and analyses (Kwietniewski 2008). Any assessment of spatial development is carried out on the basis of information obtained from specific sources (Kowalczyk 2007). The main objective of this study was to propose a method for assessing the extent of damage caused by natural disasters to croplands and woodlands with the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones). The main aim was achieved through detailed goals, including determination of the causes of natural disasters, description of the field inspection procedure and development of loss assessment principles. The proposed method was verified in selected research sites, and the resulting damage report detailing cropland losses is presented in the study.

The Relationship

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been utilized to acquire imagery for disaster research and management in recent years. Because of the huge destructive power of natural disasters, it is usually difficult for UAVs to find plane to take off. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid system to control UAVs, taking off from inclined surfaces continuously. The relationship between the pitch angle and the altitude of UAVs has been analyzed. The experiments results show that our hybrid system and method are efficient and applicable in disaster situations.

Abstract. In recent years, the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in operations in civilian/commercial contexts is becoming increasingly common also for the applications concerning the anthropic and natural disasters. In this paper, we present the first results of a research project aimed at defining a possible methodology for the use of micro-UAVs in emergency scenarios relevant to rock fall phenomena. To develop and support the presented method, the case study results relative to a rock fall emergency occurred on 7 March 2014 in the San Germano municipality (north-western Italy) are presented and discussed.

Nowadays, the creation of remotely-piloted aerial vehicles for various purposes is regarded as one of the most relevant and promising trends of aircraft development. FAU "25 State Research Institute of Chemmotology of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation" have studied the operation features of aircraft piston engines and developed technical requirements for motor oil for piston four-stroke UAV engines, as well as a new engine oil M-5z/20 AERO in cooperation with NPP KVALITET, LLC. Based on the complex of qualification tests, the stated operational properties of the experimental-industrial batch of M-5z/20 AERO oil are generally confirmed.
