This platform will be designed based on several requirements; low material cost, low manufacturing cost, portability for field operation, and stable flight design. Initially, a UAV platform is designed and manufactured for flight testing purposes. The first configuration was built for a twin tractor propulsion system. The prototype is built based on the design parameters using two types of foam core as based material. It is then fabricated using a CNC hot wire cutter machine. To reinforce the UAV structure, an advanced composite process is used by using fiberglass wet lay-up and vacuum bagging. The flight controller and its associated avionics system are then installed inside the UAV. Based on the flight test of the first configuration, the developed UAV has successfully flown in stable condition.","PeriodicalId":175668,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Computer and Drone Applications (IConDA)","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121412194","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}

Farmers face difficulties in monitoring their rice fields due to climate change, soil conditions, age of the farmers and time consumed to monitor the whole area. Remote sensing technology is one of the alternatives to monitor rice field. The advancement of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) technology has been rapidly growing and frequently used in the agriculture industries to monitor crop condition. The objectives of this research are creating crop growth map using aerial imagery and object-based image analysis (OBIA) technique, and validating the normalized difference vegetative index (NDVI) value in rice field map using soil plant analysis development (SPAD) and GreenSeeker data. The multispectral image is processed using OBIA to produce crop growth map. The crop growth map produced is embedded with information that is able to indicate the health status of the rice crop using NDVI. This research was carried out at a paddy field planted using PadiU Putra variety in Ladang Merdeka, Ketereh, Kelantan (0.79 ha). The results from this research show that OBIA method can classify vegetation and non-vegetation to produce crop growth map. NDVI map has a strong correlation with Greenseeker data at 0.893 with positive correlation at 0.05 compared to SPAD meter. The crop growth map allows farmers to improve their rice farm monitoring more effectively using remote sensing technique.","PeriodicalId":175668,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Computer and Drone Applications (IConDA)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134194916","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}

Separate lift and thrust (SLT) was the most simplistic design of VTOL UAV. However, during the forward cruising flight phase, the VTOL component of the UAV will induce the drag. Therefore, this research is to reduce the drag effect on the inactive propulsion system. To reduce this drag, five motors fairing samples with different shapes, lengths, and sizes have been designed. Each sample was tested using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation to examine the reliability of the design. Subsequently, they were tested in a wind tunnel facility to measure the resultant drag. The results from a wind tunnel test indicated that the longest length provides the lowest drag. Based on the result, V3.2 design is the most effective fairing design with a maximum of 93% drag reduction respect to the off-the-shelf motor holder.","PeriodicalId":175668,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Computer and Drone Applications (IConDA)","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132874935","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 news can spread more successfully than others. Besides that, hyperpartisan news can mimic the form of regular news articles. This study aims to identify and classify the hyperpartisan news with BERT and ELMo. Two distinct models, BERT and ELMo, were created to classify hyperpartisan news from two datasets, namely by-article and by-publisher. Few other models with different settings and training designed to test and optimise the performance of both models.

There has been significant progress in the research of using machine learning techniques, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for automatic palm tree detection. However, whether CNNs can actually outperform traditional human-engineered approaches in terms of classification accuracy and detection speed is yet unknown. In the present study, we have compared human-engineered features namely histogram of oriented gradients (HOG), local binary pattern (LBP) and scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) with features extracted using pre-trained AlexNet model for detecting palm trees in high resolution images obtained via unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Support vector machines (SVM) with linear and non-linear kernels were used to classify feature vectors obtained by different feature extractors. Haar-like features used in Viola-Jones framework was also tested in the study. Results showed that features extracted from the fifth convolutional layer of AlexNet achieved the highest accuracy of 96.1% using SVM with RBF kernel as classifier, which surpassed the accuracy obtained by fully-connected CNN, namely 95.6%. The results also suggest that SVM classifier with radial basis function (RBF) kernel using LBP as features is the optimal combination as it achieved comparable accuracy but higher detection speed than CNN approaches.","PeriodicalId":175668,"journal":{"name":"2019 International Conference on Computer and Drone Applications (IConDA)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133710662","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}
