This book was released on 2017-10-28 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Airborne Infrared Forest Fire Detection System Final Report A mathematic-functional representation of airborne infrared line scanners is used for development of an effective forest fire detection system. Conventional statistical descriptions of forest backgrounds are found to be useless for predicting detection probabilities. In situ fire detection probability measurements in 13 tim ber types representing the major forested areas of North America are presented. Detection probabilities approach 100 percent in the open-grown, shade intolerant timber types; but the probabilities are mar gimal (50 to 60 percent) in the more shade-tolerant types, such as Douglas-fir rain forests on the West Coast and dense hardwood forests around the Great Lakes.

Download or read book An Economic Evaluation of Forward Looking Infrared FLIR Technology to Enhance Aerial Suppression of Forest Fires in Alberta written by Paul M. Woodard and published by Forestry Canada. This book was released on 1993 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous research suggested infrared technology on aerial platforms enables fire managers to make better forest fire fighting decisions. In 1992-93, an evaluation was conducted of the costs and benefits of installing Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) technology on bird-dog planes using cost data provided by the Government of Alberta and opinions of experienced users. As part of the study, 11 air-attack officers in Alberta with experience using FLIRs were asked to estimate the savings to be realized in retardant costs, flying costs, and area burned by employing this technology. This report provides the results of the evaluation.

Download or read book Wildland Fires and Air Pollution written by Andrzej Bytnerowicz and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2009 with total page 688 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wildland fires are one of the most devastating and terrifying forces of nature. While their effects are mostly destructive they also help with regeneration of forests and other ecosystems. Low-intensity fires clear accumulating biomass reducing risk of catastrophic crown fires and can be used as an effective management tool. This book presents current understanding of wildland fires and air quality as well as their effects on human health, forests and other ecosystems. in the first section of the book the basics of wildland fires and resulting emissions are presented from the perspective of changing global climate, air quality impairment and effects on environmental and human health and security. in the second section, effects of wildland fires on air quality, visibility and human health in various regions of the Earth are discussed. The third section of the book deals with complex issues of the ecological impacts of fires and air pollution in forests and chaparral in North America. The fourth section discusses various management issues facing land and fire managers which are related to wildfires, use of prescribed fires, and air quality. This section also presents various modeling systems used for describing fire dangers and behavior as well as smoke and air pollution predictions applied in the risk assessment analysis. The book concludes with a series of expert recommendations for wildland fire and atmospheric research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles is a reference text for the academic and research communities, industry, manufacturers, users, practitioners, Federal Government, Federal and State Agencies, the private sector, as well as all organizations that are and will be using unmanned aircraft in a wide spectrum of applications. The Handbook covers all aspects of UAVs, from design to logistics and ethical issues. It is also targeting the young investigator, the future inventor and entrepreneur by providing an overview and detailed information of the state-of-the-art as well as useful new concepts that may lead to innovative research. The contents of the Handbook include material that addresses the needs and ‘know how’ of all of the above sectors targeting a very diverse audience. The Handbook offers a unique and comprehensive treatise of everything one needs to know about unmanned aircrafts, from conception to operation, from technologies to business activities, users, OEMs, reference sources, conferences, publications, professional societies, etc. It should serve as a Thesaurus, an indispensable part of the library for everyone involved in this area. For the first time, contributions by the world’s top experts from academia, industry, government and the private sector, are brought together to provide unique perspectives on the current state-of-the-art in UAV, as well as future directions. The Handbook is intended for the expert/practitioner who seeks specific technical/business information, for the technically-oriented scientists and engineers, but also for the novice who wants to learn more about the status of UAV and UAV-related technologies. The Handbook is arranged in a user-friendly format, divided into main parts referring to: UAV Design Principles; UAV Fundamentals; UAV Sensors and Sensing Strategies; UAV Propulsion; UAV Control; UAV Communication Issues; UAV Architectures; UAV Health Management Issues; UAV Modeling, Simulation, Estimation and Identification; MAVs and Bio-Inspired UAVs; UAV Mission and Path Planning; UAV Autonomy; UAV Sense, Detect and Avoid Systems; Networked UAVs and UAV Swarms; UAV Integration into the National Airspace; UAV-Human Interfaces and Decision Support Systems; Human Factors and Training; UAV Logistics Support; UAV Applications; Social and Ethical Implications; The Future of UAVs. Each part is written by internationally renowned authors who are authorities in their respective fields. The contents of the Handbook supports its unique character as a thorough and comprehensive reference book directed to a diverse audience of technologists, businesses, users and potential users, managers and decision makers, novices and experts, who seek a holistic volume of information that is not only a technical treatise but also a source for answers to several questions on UAV manufacturers, users, major players in UAV research, costs, training required and logistics issues.
