Application of UASs to augment ground surveys in cranberry agriculture development: a proof of concept for the integration of UAS into the site identification and monitoring of cranberry farms in Newfoundland
(2017)Assessing the potential for developing wetland environments into cranberry agricultural lands is time consuming and expensive. The addition of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to augment current ground survey techniques has ... -
Autonomous surface vehicle for mechanized bathymetric surveys
(2022)This study evaluates the efficacy of an Autonomous Surface Vehicle (ASV) constructed from inexpensive consumer off the shelf components for suitability in surface-based bathymetry of large-scale tailing impounds found ... -
Deploying an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) equipped with a multispectral sensor for detecting between differing levels of barley (H vulgare L.) fungal diseases in Northern Ontario
(2017)To date, no studies exist exploring the multispectral detection of fungal diseases in barley (H Vulgare L.) with UAV imagery. The purpose of this work was to determine if the spectral response (VI) of barley fungicide ... -
Inventorying cutover logging residues: A remote sensing approach
(2012-11-10)The purpose of this study was to quantify the volume of logging residues within forest harvest blocks, using an airborne, remote sensing based method. The objective was to measure the volume using a field technique, and ... -
Using Remote Sensing for Quantity Analysis of Chip Pile Inventory in Mill Yards
(2016)An integral part of proper wood chip inventory management is the ability to accurately monitor wood chip quantities. This thesis examines the use of a new method of capturing the volume of mill yard wood chip piles through ... -
Using unmanned aerial vehicles and wildlife camera trapping for the early assessment of road reclamation effects in Northern Ontario
(2019)The forest industry has been performing forest road reclamation to regenerate forests after harvest, to maintain wildlife habitat and to limit forest access by the public, all to help maintain large, contiguous wild forests. ...
