Through the development of computer image processing technology and UAV technology, after installing high-definition cameras on UAVs and taking high-resolution images, the technology of directly generating DOM images in the surveyed areas using software has been well-developed. However, under the emergency conditions such as dealing with disasters, the long-term processing time required for aerial surveys of UAVs has become a major efficiency constraint to surveying and mapping. This paper focuses on the rapid mapping and mosaicking of survey images from unmanned aerial vehicles under emergency conditions, and elaborates current research status, difficulties and resolvents of the rapid mapping of existing UAVs.

Due to the accelerating urbanization process, land resources are tight, the construction environment becomes more and more complex and severe. In particular, the future airport will be built on the mountain or be constructed reclamation airport, the terrain and geological conditions of the airport construction are complex and the climate is harsh. These all raise higher requirements for the accuracy and safety of airport planning, design and construction. This paper combines the mapping technology with the key links of airport construction, and elaborates on the key technologies, which provides a good reference for related projects and is of great significance for improving the efficiency and quality of airport construction.

A full scale snow melting system with heat pipe technology is built in this work, which avoids the negative effects on concrete structure and environment caused by traditional deicing chemicals. The snow melting, ice-freezing performance and temperature distribution characteristics of heat pipe concrete runway were discussed by the outdoor experiments. The results show that the temperature of the concrete pavement is greatly improved with the heat pipe system. The environment temperature and embedded depth of heat pipe play a dominant role among the decision variables of the snow melting system. Heat pipe snow melting pavement melts the snow completely and avoids freezing at any time when the environment temperature is below freezing point, which is secure enough for planes take-off and landing. Besides, the exportation and recovery of geothermal energy indicate that this system can run for a long time. This paper will be useful for the design and application of the heat pipe used in the runway snow melting. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Most of the construction machinery for vibro-sinking stone columns, which are widely used in China, needs to be improved in terms of degree of automation. Engineering quality control is mainly carried out post-inspection; consequently, it is difficult to control the construction quality in real time. According to the construction characteristics of traditional stone column machines, we established the theory and model for the real-time monitoring of stone column construction, as well as put forward an intelligent monitoring method for stone column machines. With the comprehensive application of critical technologies such as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurement technology, laser ranging sensors, and massive data processing, an intelligent data acquisition technique and associated monitoring equipment for stone column construction machines are developed. The data acquisition and storage of crucial construction parameters, such as pile depth, pile point co-ordinates, bearing layer current, and reverse insertion times, are realized. A large number of actual construction data are collected and the construction quality parameters of stone column machines are obtained. By comparison with third-party detection data, it is verified that the intelligent monitoring technique for stone column machines proposed in this paper is feasible. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
