Measurement of surface velocity in open channels using a lightweight remotely piloted aircraft system

In this paper, a low-cost remotely piloted aircraft system (RPAS) technique is proposed for measurement of the surface velocity in rivers or channels with low surface velocity and small discharge. To verify the reliability of the results obtained with the RPAS, we simultaneously measured the surface...
