“…These results suggest that both charcoal contents and temperature are playing important roles in determining emissions of gaseous and aerosol species, demonstrating that these parameters need to be quantified for the future field studies on tropical peatland burning. Mapping fire temperatures is now possible using infrared sensors on satellites and unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) [ Brown et al , ; Elvidge et al , ]. A combination of these mapping techniques with temperature‐dependent emission data may enable better estimation of the climatic and environmental impacts of peatland burning in equatorial Asian countries.…”

Tropical peatland burning in Asia has been intensifying over the last decades, emitting huge amounts of gas species and aerosol particles. Both laboratory and field studies have been conducted to investigate emission from peat burning, yet a significant variability in data still exists. We conducted a series of experiments to characterize the gas and particulate matter emitted during burning of a peat sample from Sumatra in Indonesia. Heating temperature of peat was found to regulate the ratio of CH4 to CO2 in emissions (ΔCH4/ΔCO2) as well as the chemical composition of particulate matter. The ΔCH4/ΔCO2 ratio was larger for higher temperatures, meaning that CH4 emission is more pronounced at these conditions. Mass spectrometric analysis of organic components indicated that aerosol particles emitted at higher temperatures had more unsaturated bonds and ring structures than that emitted from cooler fires. The result was consistently confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance analysis. In addition, CH4 emitted by burning charcoal, which is derived from previously burned peat, was lower by at least an order of magnitude than that from fresh peat. These results highlight the importance of both fire history and heating temperature for the composition of tropical peat‐fire emissions. They suggest that remote sensing technologies that map fire histories and temperatures could provide improved estimates of emissions.

Recent proliferation of surveillance systems is mostly attributed to advances in both image-processing techniques and hardware enhancement of smart cameras, as well as the ubiquity of sensor-driven architectures. Owing to these capabilities, new aspects are coming to the forefront. This paper addresses the current state-of-the-art and provides researchers with an overview of existing surveillance solutions, analyzing their properties as a system and drawing attention to relevant challenges when developing, deploying and managing them. Also, some of the more prominent application domains are highlighted here. In an effort to understand the development of the advanced solutions, based on their most distinctive characteristics, we propose a taxonomy for surveillance systems to help classify them and reveal gaps in existing research. We conclude by identifying promising future research lines.

Quadrotors are Vertical Take-Off and Landing aerial vehicles with many potential applications ranging from mapping to supporting rescue operations. This paper aims to provide an overview on various works carried out on the quadrotor, from the perspective of control and dynamic modelling. Also in this paper, based on the information summarized from 160 researches available, different control targets and flight missions are analysed and classified, and according to it, a general flight mission map is introduced. In addition, history of advances in development of quadrotors and set-ups proposed when performing experimental researches on quadrotors is presented.
