Abstract - The rapid advancements in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have revolutionized various industries, enabling their use in numerous applications such as surveillance, environmental monitoring, and data collection. UAVs offer unparalleled flexibility, speed, and access to areas that are otherwise difficult to reach, making them an essential tool in modern problem-solving. This project focuses on the development of a drone-based object counting mechanism that employs cutting-edge real-time image processing techniques to address the need for accurate and efficient object counting in various domains. By automating the process of object counting, this project aims to reduce labour costs, improve accuracy, and increase operational efficiency for users.

Key Words: Drone, Accuracy, Data Collection, Efficient, labour costs, UAVs.
