  • Vibration energy harvesters for wireless sensor networks for aircraft health monitoring 
    Lu, Yu (Cranfield University, 2015-10)
    Traditional power supply for wireless sensor nodes is batteries. However, the application of batteries in WSN has been limited due to their large size, low capacity, limited working life, and replacement cost. With rapid ...
  • Vision based landmark detection for UAV navigation 
    Elliott, Alexander William (Cranfield University, 2012)
    The majority of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) available today depend on Global Position Satellites (GPS) and inertial measurement units (IMU) for state estimation used in navigation and control. However with the increase ...
  • Vision-based Navigation Using Landmark Recognition for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles 
    Mannberg, Mikael (Cranfield University, 2014-08)
    This thesis describes a new approach for a vision-based positioning system for Un- manned Aerial Vehicles using a recognition method based on known, robust geo- graphic landmarks. Landmarks are used to calculate a position ...
  • Visual cueing for collision avoidance system 
    Li, Huiying (Cranfield University, 2012)
    The modern Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) used in airlines today is the TCAS II. It provides pilots with both Traffic Advisory (TA) and Resolution Advisory (RA) which in turn reduces the incidence of ...
