3D Path Planning for Radiation Scanning of Cargo Containers
… Uncrewed Aerial Systems can be useful for scanning container stacks in container fields since they can be attached with sensors and reach heights that are difficult for humans. They can also scan autonomously, requiring less over watch from people. This thesis attempts to solve the problem …

Methods for optimization of the signature-based radiation scanning approach for detection of nitrogen-rich explosives
The signature-based radiation scanning (SBRS) technique can be used to rapidly detect nitrogen-rich explosives at standoff distances. This technique uses a template-matching procedure that produces a figure-of-merit (FOM) whose value is used to distinguish between inert and explosive materials. The …

Automatic trajectory generation for mobile-manipulators using 3D LiDAR scans of unknown surfaces
… uranium drift mining through automating the radiation scanning and shotcrete application process is presented. Utilizing the Robot Operating System (ROS) framework to achieve autonomous operation, workers can be removed from the most hazardous areas of the mine. Worker knowledge and …

Rapid material interrogation using X rays from a dense plasma focus
Dense Plasma Focus (DPF) devices are multi-radiation sources of X rays, neutrons (when working with deuterium), ions, and electrons in pulses typically of a few tens of nanoseconds. The Kansas State University device (KSU-DPF) was commissioned to be used as a radiation source with the Mechanical …
