An Edge-Computing UAV Architecture for GPS-Denied Structural Inspection in Reinforced-Concrete Environments: A Prototype-Based Proof-of-Concept Evaluation
While there are evident advantages to deploying UAVs for structural inspection applications within reinforced-concrete structures where human access may be hazardous or restricted, UAV deployment is still inhibited within structures due to a lack of GPS, payload and power limitations, signal attenuation, limited transm...
