Drone-based Intelligent Surveillance And Disaster Management System

Design of an autonomous Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) system to detect people in distress and send the information of the people to an already established ground control station(GCS). It consists of a long range communication system to communicate with GCS and a system to perform computer vision, avoid obstacles and navigate autonomously and plan its path accordingly. Further it can be used to build a swarm of such systems to cover a wider area and effectively help more people in distress. It involves development of a fully operational drone with PID control of drone, computer vision, image processing, GPS tracking and navigation, data transfer and acquisition.
