Monitoring remote areas is not an easy task due to the challenging topography, the lack of infrastructure, and the limited accessibility of the site. At the same time, human surveillance over such areas is not always appropriate due to potential risks and the considerable amount of effort required to reach these places. Therefore, the current paper proposes a Smart UAV-Based Surveillance System for Remote Area Monitoring, which uses an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to obtain and relay images and video of the area under surveillance. The offered system can be applied to monitor different sites, including forests, disaster areas, borders, ecosystems, and other objects. It is possible due to the use of a camera, which can be equipped with additional technologies, such as GPS and wireless communication devices. These tools help the UAV to store and transmit the obtained images from the target area to a specific location, where the user can watch them in real-time or see them later to ensure that everything is operating normally. The suggested surveillance system can be used in different conditions while considering such factors as battery power, communication, navigation, and weather. The primary purpose of the Smart UAV-Based Surveillance System for Remote Area Monitoring is to ensure effective and high-quality surveillance while reducing the need for human intervention. Thus, the proposed solution can be applied to monitor hard-to-reach areas and gain immediate access to valuable information.
KEYWORDS
The proposed Smart UAV-Based Surveillance System offers a simple and effective approach to monitor remote areas with no accessible way for people to reach. The UAV used a camera, flight controller, and motors with sensors to offer stable flight and real-time monitoring. The results indicated that the UAV can provide real-time video and valuable information about the monitored site. Also, the UAV could be controlled to move in a particular direction and avoid obstacles during its flight. In general, the UAV can be utilized in remote-area monitoring, security surveillance, disaster observation, and search operations. However, some limitations were observed, including limited battery capacity, manual control, and transmission delay. In the future, autonomous navigation, advanced obstacle detection, improved communication, and extended battery capacity can be considered to offer a better UAV-based surveillance system.
