Laboratory Comparisons

This report develops non-contact optical methods for measuring concrete small-sized cracks (less than 3 mm) for remote diagnostics of hard-to-reach building surfaces using unmanned aerial vehicles. The drone's high-resolution digital camera captures remote close-up photography of the concrete surface under high light intensity levels. A special contact landing module made it possible to record the distance between the camera and the concrete surface being photographed. This made it possible to achieve laboratory shooting conditions and increased the accuracy of measurements.

Clinical laboratory diagnostics (laboratory medicine) is one of the most important components of the health care system, which provides medical diagnostic assistance to patients in assessing health status, diagnosis of diseases, monitoring of the results of treatment, further prediction of the course of the disease and quality of life that has a national importance in preserving and improving  the health of  the population.
