Cross-Correlation-Based Structural System Identification Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

Computer vision techniques have been employed to characterize dynamic properties of structures, as well as to capture structural motion for system identification purposes. All of these methods leverage image-processing techniques using a st...

Image Motion Extraction of Structures Using Computer Vision Techniques: A Comparative Study

Vibrational measurements play an important role for structural health monitoring, e.g., modal extraction and damage diagnosis. Moreover, conditions of civil structures can be mostly assessed by displacement responses. However, installing di...

Unmanned Aerial Vehicle-Based Structural Health Monitoring and Computer Vision-Aided Procedure for Seismic Safety Measures of Linear Infrastructures

Computer vision in the structural health monitoring (SHM) field has become popular, especially for processing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) data, but still has limitations both in experimental testing and in practical applications. Prior wo...

Condensing AI-Based Attitude Control Using Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks for Memory Efficiency

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming engineering fields, from robotics to aerospace, with applications in control systems for UAVs and satellites. This work builds on a previously developed AI attitude controller for the Inn...

Deep Learning and System Identification

Deep learning is a topic of considerable interest today. Since it deals with estimating - or learning - models, there are connections to the area of System Identification developed in the Automatic Control community. Such connections are ex...
