Drone for Surveillance

Abstract

This project focuses on the development of an autonomous surveillance drone capable of recording high-quality video footage. Equipped with advanced cameras and sensors, the drone is designed to record stable live video from the air, using computer vision and real-time communication systems to navigate and transmit clear footage. The drone automatically avoids obstacles during flight and ensures safe operation. Its ground control station facilitates mission planning and monitoring. Despite the increasing use of small camera-equipped drones for security and law enforcement purposes, current models face significant limitations such as short battery life, unstable video, difficult target tracking, poor weather conditions and regulatory restrictions. This study aims to address these issues by improving the functionality and usability of camera drones for continuous surveillance. By overcoming these challenges, the project aims to provide a more efficient and cost-effective solution for aerial surveillance that makes autonomous surveillance drones more practical and reliable for various applications.
