Development and evaluation of an integrated UAV-based ranging and imaging system for characterizing surface relief and roughness

This research project is aimed at developing a multi-sensor system based on an unmanned aerial vehicle for characterizing soil micro-topography in agricultural fields. The system will be benefit from both passive imaging and active ranging technologies, respectively, based on an optical digital camera and a LiDAR sensor. Accurate and complete elevation measurements are essential for […]

Dynamic Bandwidth Management

In the telecommunications industry, many schemas exist to cap or limit bandwidth at certain levels for clients. However, there are no real options available to allow clients to intelligently utilize spare bandwidth above their committed purchase rates. We propose to design, implement and evaluate novel bandwidth allocation mechanisms for high speed networks like the Cybera […]
