The integration of multiple remote sensors into unmanned aerial systems (UAS) is a cutting-edge project that promotes capacity building and that is aimed at informing geoscience studies. The goal of this project is to assemble and use UAS equipped with a variety of remote sensors to gather data about the surface of the planet in an efficient and comprehensive manner.
The devices integrated into the UAS include a combination of imaging and LiDAR remote sensors, designed to gather data about various aspects of the Earth's systems, such as land cover, geology, and topography of a given area. By combining data from multiple sensors, the project aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of objects on the surface of the planet and the relationships between different aspects of the environment.
This project contributes to advance the field of geoscience by providing more accurate and detailed data about the Earth's systems. The use of UAS that can be equipped with multiple remote sensors allows for more efficient data collection, as well as the ability to gather data from previously inaccessible areas. The integration of multiple remote sensors into UAS for geoscience studies is an exciting development that holds the potential to greatly advance our understanding of the Earth and its systems.
