This is the case for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) based on open-source hardware (OSH) as well. Open-source software (OSS) and OSH can be applied in a wide range of applications and can improve several technologies. The chapter begins with an introduction to OSS depicting its rationale, description of fundamental differences between OSS and proprietary software (PS), what benefits OSSs provide to overall UAV community, the motives leading people to pick up an OSS instead of a PS, which helps the academic and research community. This chapter also covers some OSSs used within the UAV community to support all aspects of UAV technology and the Remote Sensing (RS) and photogrammetry data post-processing chain. It is possible to build fully autonomous and operational UAV based only on OSH and OSS. The chapter describes the state of the art for OSS widely used in UAV technology, the software used in all aspects of UAV technology such as ARDUPILOT-based Autopilot firmware, MISSION PLANNER-based ground station, OPENTX transmitter software, MINIM On-Screen Data (OSD) software, Open Drone Map photogrammetry data processing suite, Web drone data-processing suite WebODM. This chapter describes several concepts and characteristics of open software/hardware, built-in functions, and particular features as well as platform requirements. A typical UAV photogrammetry workflow for drone construction with flight planning/execution and OSS data processing is provided.","PeriodicalId":110219,"journal":{"name":"Imaging and Sensing for Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Volume 2: Deployment and Applications","volume":"120 30","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131746119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter presents an image transfer technique for the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a UWB system using a hybrid structure of the MIMO-OSTBC wireless environment in multiple description coding (MDC) deals. MDC technique for image transmission is a new approach in which there is no record of it so far. This ensures that in the packet loss scenario due to channel errors, images with acceptable quality with no need for retransmission can be reconstructed. The proposed system is implemented using a different number of transmitter and receiver antennas UAV. Assuming a Rayleigh model for the communication channels, the MDC image transmission performance is compared with single description coding (SDC). Experimental results confirm that the proposed hybrid method has better performance than the SDC.","PeriodicalId":110219,"journal":{"name":"Imaging and Sensing for Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Volume 2: Deployment and Applications","volume":"122 14","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114085650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Embedded computers and networks monitor and control the physical processes, usually with feedback loops where physical processes affect computations and vice versa. For operation, they require data. An Unnamed Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an autonomous system which operates automatically without a human pilot; flight operates various degree of autonomy is controlled via computers [1] and can acquire unique data about physical process, thus allowing for real-time monitoring, management, control and actuation tasks in a CPS to be achieved. A UAV system also is known as a drone plane, which is commonly used for monitoring prohibited actives and target militants without risking the life of security forces. UAV was initially designed and developed for the military purpose and mostly used in remote sensing. Nowadays, UAV are used in much broader applications such as in agricultural, recreational, scientific, commercial as well as in applications such as policing, peacekeeping and surveillance, product deliveries, aerial photography, smuggling and drone racing [2, 3]. UAV collects data such as image capturing, video recording, measure temperature, humidity, crop identification, forest and water management in remote areas, mountains and agriculture fields [4]. UAV provide better monitoring and image data capturing with high resolution compared to satellite remote sensing.","PeriodicalId":110219,"journal":{"name":"Imaging and Sensing for Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Volume 2: Deployment and Applications","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114541873","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
