Surveillance/Inspection drones
Project Details
Problem Statement
How to effectively survey a large area with multiple, cooperating drones
Objectives
Create a model for efficiently surveying areas using multiple, communicating drones
Assumptions
- No obstacles
- Drones can be operated as intended, in clear weather
- All drones are identical
Users and what do they require?
Law enforcement Infrared cameras / live image (or video) feed / Riot detection? Farmers Camera / “final” image overview (no live feed needed) Staatsbosbeheer Camera / “final” image overview (no live feed needed) Rijkswaterstaat (grachten in Amsterdam, etc.) Submarine drones Detailed images for inspection of dunes Festival organisers Detection of the movement of masses/Riot detection? Archeologie Sensors for depth searching
Requirements
Equipment failure can be dealt with Image stitching requirements
Approach & Milestones
Have concrete idea Have a basic model (single drone) Lane coverage Have a basic model (multiple drone) Lane coverage Have reformation of drone organisation after a drone crashes Take height, clarity, and camera angle in consideration (Some object have a higher priority to be scanned)
Deliverables
An algorithm and computer model
