This paper concerns the pose estimation of Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) with respect to electric towers based on laser sensors. We propose two feature-based algorithms that rely on gradually extracting the tower's notable features from the scans, and then exploiting the simple geometry of the cross-sections to estimate the tower's position and orientation in the sensor frame. As a by-product, it is...
We propose a model-based approach to obtain local pose estimates of micro aerial vehicles (MAVs), with respect to electric towers, using 2D laser scanners. A simple planar model for the body of an electric tower is presented, which is used in an iterative closest point (ICP) framework to register incoming laser scans. This is complemented with attitude estimates from IMU measurements to obtain a complete...
Thermoelectric has gained attention for its clean energy generation. It has the potential of converting heat from renewable energy into direct current electricity which will replace our dependency on fossil fuels. This paper presents thermoelectric power generation system which consists of cooling tower that provides direct water cooling and solar thermal collector that provides high heat source on...
