Comparison Table: SkyHub vs. UgCS

Feature SkyHub UgCS
Type Onboard hardware component for drones Desktop software for drone mission planning and flight control
Primary Function Enhances drone capabilities by integrating sensors and processing data in real-time Provides advanced mission planning tools and flight control
Sensor Integration Directly interfaces with sensors (e.g., GPR, methane detectors, echo sounders, magnetometers) Does not directly integrate sensors but supports planning missions that use sensor-equipped drones
Real-Time Data Processing Yes, processes sensor data in real-time during the flight No, primarily for mission planning and post-flight analysis
Real-Time GPR Object Detection Yes, supports real-time detection and geotagging of objects via integrated GPR sensors No, UgCS does not handle real-time GPR data but can assist in planning flights for GPR surveys
Terrain Following True Terrain Following using radar or laser altimeters Terrain following feature integrated into mission planning
Compatibility DJI M350, M300, M210 series, Cube/Pixhawk-based drones DJI M350, M300, FreeFly, Inspired Flight, Ardupilot, and Blue UAS list drones
Offline Data Processing Processes and stores data offline to ensure security Relies on external tools for post-flight data analysis
Flight Planning Does not support mission planning Offers advanced flight planning tools (photogrammetry, corridor mapping, DEM integration, etc.)
Use Case Industrial operations requiring real-time data acquisition (e.g., landmine detection, GPR surveys) Planning and controlling missions for various drone applications (e.g., mapping, inspections)
Supports GPR Fully supports GPR for real-time subsurface detection Can plan and execute missions for GPR-equipped drones

Real-Time GPR Object Detection:

  • SkyHub: Yes, it supports real-time GPR object detection by processing and geotagging data directly onboard during the flight.
  • UgCS: No, it is a mission planning tool and does not process GPR data in real-time. It is used to create flight paths for GPR surveys but relies on hardware like SkyHub for data acquisition.

Conclusion: For real-time GPR object detection (e.g., landmines in sandy environments), SkyHub is the required system as it directly processes and identifies targets during the flight. UgCS is better suited as a complementary tool for pre-planning the missions.
