Abstract -The field of the Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly and is revolutionizing how we interact with technology. It refers to the interconnectedness of devices, machines, and sensors, enabling them to exchange data and information to perform specific tasks or improve efficiency. In recent years, the integration of IoT with drones has led to the development of drone surveillance, a technology that is being increasingly used in various industries and applications.
Drone surveillance is a kind of aerial surveillance that makes use of drones equipped with high-definition cameras, sensors, and other cutting-edge technologies to monitor and protect various locations and assets. With the help of IoT, drones can now be controlled and operated remotely, making them an excellent option for surveillance in hard-to-reach or dangerous areas. By combining IoT with drone technology, it is now possible to capture real-time data and analyze it to detect any abnormalities or potential threats.
The integration of IoT and drone technology has numerous applications, ranging from monitoring traffic and weather patterns to securing critical infrastructure and protecting wildlife. In this context, drone surveillance has developed into a crucial tool for emergency response teams, law enforcement agencies, and other organizations engaged in security and surveillance operations. This technology is expected to play an increasingly significant role in the future, as we continue to explore new ways to leverage IoT and drone technology for more efficient and effective surveillance. A subset of artificial intelligence known as machine learning (ML) focuses on developing models and algorithms that let computers learn and make decisions without explicit programming. It is a powerful tool for analyzing and interpreting large datasets, which is particularly useful in the context of IoT and drone surveillance. By applying ML algorithms to the data collected by drones, it is possible to identify patterns, anomalies, and potential threats more efficiently and accurately. ML can also be used to optimize drone flight paths, improve data collection and analysis, and enhance overall system performance. As IoT and drone technology continue to advance, the integration of ML is expected to play an increasingly important role in enabling more intelligent and efficient surveillance systems.
