UAV based communication is gaining more and more interest in both research and industry. On top of all benefits gained by using UAVs, we investigate in this paper the effect of using UAV communication on the user experienced ...
Robotic probe positioning system for structural health monitoring
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Structural health Monitoring (SHM) is a very critical component for sustainable civil and mechanical structures in modern urban settings. The sky-scrappers and huge bridges in modern metropolis today are essential aspects ...
Bootstrap-Based Quality Metric for Scarce Sensing Systems
(
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper considers Mobile Crowd-Sensing (MCS) systems that suffer from scarce participant availability due to small sample sizes in each sensing cycle. With such small sample sizes, a sample in error would dramatically ...
