HUMAN DETECTION AND NOTIFICATION USING UAV FOR SURVEILLANCE

Several studies have reported that drone plays a very important part in the life of modern human beings in the twenty-first century. Drones provide their efficient use in case of situational awareness by the surveillance process in the disaster places. The size and weight play a vital role in traveling narrow down places in a short amount of time, this, expands the drone application in the field of military, transport and so on. This model implements the flight of a quadcopter along with the application of detecting a human using image processing. The basic principle is to autonomously detect a human and notify it to the user, for which the code is written on raspberry pi using python. Raspberry Pi along with the camera is integrated on the Drone. The vehicle would capture the live images from the camera connected to raspberry pi and may send the notification to the user. This system provides the surveillance process for the defined perimeters by fixing via points and the quadcopter will follow the target through points that are predefined. Global Positioning System (GPS) is provided in the vehicle to locate the exact position of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). So in this paper, an attempt is being made to highlight the use of drones in the surveillance applications.
