A roof must be inspected regularly since it needs to be durable and structurally solid and sound. Roof inspection may be dangerous since many buildings are tall and large. This study focused to carry out visual inspection for high-rise structure using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), determine the defects of Tunku Tun Aminah Library’s (TTAL) roof through photos taken by UAV and evaluate the suitability of UAV for roof inspection. A DJI Mavic 3 Classic drone was used to fly over the roof of Tunku Tun Aminah Library (TTAL) in Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia (UTHM). Photographs was collected during the flight, and all photos are checked and processed to recombine the distinct images using Agisoft Metashape software in order to find the defects on TTAL’s roof. The results of analysis showed that there were seven (7) defects on the roof. The condition of the roof was evaluated using Condition Survey Protocol 1 (CSP1) Matrix which got the overall condition of TTAL’s roof is 5.6 (yellow) which shows the roof is in a fair condition. Knowing the condition of the roof only from photos of an UAV indicates that UAV is suitable to use for roof inspection. This study shows the difference between inspecting by conventional method and using UAV. The study conclude that UAV may be deployed in a way besides the conventional method and proposed a safer and time saving method for roof inspection.

“…Drones are built for mobile and data-gathering capability. It can be recognized as a flying robot, which can be flown autonomously without any human interaction via softwarecontrolled flight plans or can be remotely controlled [32]. The flying mode makes it easier to reach nodes in a timely manner and also makes it easy to hover and collect data at specific nodes [10].…”

Air pollution has a severe impact on human beings and one of the top risks facing human health. The data collection near pollution sources is difficult to obtain due to obstacles such as industrial and rural areas, where sensing usually fails to give enough information about the air quality. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) equipped with different sensors offer new approaches and opportunity to air pollution and atmospheric studies. Despite that, there are new challenges that emerged with using UAVs, in particular, the effect of wind-generated from UAVs propellers rotation on the efficiency and ability to sense and measure gas concentrations. The results of gas measurement are affected by the propellers rotation and the wind resistance. Thus, the effect of changing UAV speed and altitude on the gas measurement both vertically and horizontally need to be performed. The aims of this paper is to propose a new mobilewireless air pollution system composed of UAV equipped with low-cost sensors using LoRa transmission. The proposed system is evaluated by studying the effect of changing altitude and speed on the measured gas concentrations CO, LPG, H2, and smoke when flying in horizontally and vertically directions. The results showed that our system is capable of measuring CO, LPG, H2, and smoke in the vertical mode in both hovering and deploying scenarios. While in horizontal mode the results showed that system can detect and measure gas concentrations at speeds less than or equal to 6 m/s. While at high speed of 8 and 10 m/s there will be an impact on its performance and accuracy to detect the targeted gases. Also, the results showed that the LoRa shield and Radio transmitter AT9S can successfully transmit up to 800 m horizontally and 400 feet vertically.

“…In addition, drones can carry other payloads that are not sensors. These can include units that disperse fire extinguishing materials to help control wildfires, fire starting materials for prescribed burns, or specialised seed packages apparatus designed to disperse seeds and plant amendments (e.g., fertilisers) to meet revegetation objectives (Aydin et al, 2019; Droneseed, 2020; Rahman et al, 2019; Saikin et al, 2020).…”

Existing and emerging uses of drones in restoration ecology

To address the enormous task of restoring the world's degraded ecosystems, 2021 to 2030 was recently heralded as the UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (United Nations, 2020). In the absence of scalable interventions, it is expected that by 2050, 95% of Earth's land, up to 90% of coral reefs, and many other habitats will be affected by degradation (Foo & Asner, 2019;Yu et al., 2020). Against this backdrop of ecological crisis, practitioners must draw upon the most effective tools available to ensure large-scale restoration objectives are successful.
