Vision-Based Control of a Tether-Suspended Aerial Radiation Sensing Payload

Ian Snider, Brian J. Quiter, Emil Rofors +1

Aerial radiation surveys achieve higher sensitivity when the radiation detector is held close to the ground. Detector sensitivity falls off roughly with the inverse square of the d…

Automatic calibration of gamma-ray detectors deployed in uncontrolled environments

Marco Salathe, Nicolas Abgrall, Mark S. Bandstra +3

Radiation detectors deployed as part of a large urban network or for homeland security monitoring must maintain reliable energy calibration even when subjected to substantial varia…

Curation and Dissemination of Complex Multi-modal Data Sets for Radiation Detection, Localization, and Tracking

Nicolas Abgrall, Mark S. Bandstra, Reynold J. Cooper +5

The PANDAWN sensor network in Chicago, IL, is a state-of-the-art test-bed for networked, multi-modal sensing. It integrates AI/data science methods into its operation, from data ac…

Full Spectrum Modeling of In Situ Gamma-ray Detector Measurements with a Focus on Precipitation-Induced Transients

Mark S. Bandstra, James M. Ghawaly, Douglas E. Peplow +9

Gamma-ray detectors that are deployed outdoors experience increased event rates during precipitation due to the attendant increase in Rn-222 progeny at ground level. The increased…

Demonstration of a new CLLBC-based gamma- and neutron-sensitive free-moving omnidirectional imaging detector

Jayson R. Vavrek, Ryan Pavlovsky, Victor Negut +4

We have developed a CLLBC-based gamma- and neutron-sensitive multi-channel omnidirectional imaging detector, suitable for handheld or vehicle-borne operation and capable of quantit…

Surrogate distributed radiological sources III: quantitative distributed source reconstructions

Jayson R. Vavrek, Jaewon Lee, Marco Salathe +4

In this third part of a multi-paper series, we present quantitative image reconstruction results from aerial measurements of eight different surrogate distributed gamma-ray sources…
