UAV-based air pollutant source localization using gradient and probabilistic methods
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018)
This work proposes an algorithm for air pollutant source localization using an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The algorithm combines a gradient-based search with a probabilistic method to localize the pollutant source. The ...
UAV-Based air pollutant source localization using combined metaheuristic and probabilistic methods
(2019)
Air pollution is one of the greatest risks for the health of people. In recent years, platforms based on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) for the monitoring of pollution in the air have been studied to deal with this problem, ...
