Testing UAVs to perform aerial photographic survey of harp and hooded seals in the West Ice area
Survey report – KV “Svalbard” 16-26 March 2014 The aim of the KV “Svalbard” survey was to test two UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) to perform aerial photographic surveys of harp and hooded seal whelping patches on the drift ice in the West Ice area in the Greenland Sea. Digital cameras and a thermal...
