Upscaling ground-based backpack gamma-ray spectrometry to spatial resolution of UAV-based gamma-ray spectrometry for system validation

This article compares the accuracy of UAV-based measurements with backpack-based systems, particularly in mapping U-238 specific activities. The study finds that UAV-based systems can accurately measure radiation levels with sufficient spatial resolution, despite their lower spatial support compared to ground-based methods, making them suitable for large-scale uranium waste mapping.

Guidelines for UAV-borne radioelement mapping (IAEA)

20230428 - Guidelines for UAV-borne radioelement mappinng (IAEA).pdf

A practical guide describing how to set-up a gamma-ray survey with a drone.

About choice of sensor, flight lines, calibration, data analysis and reporting. These guidelines are summary from the PhD thesis of Steven van der Veeke, and are a deliverable from the IAEA CRP D12014.
