- Description
- This dissertation presents the development, implementation and experimental verification of a multirator UAV-based autonomous rural security system. this system is capable of autonomously responding to security-related events, broadcasting and analysing a video feed of the event, returning to a home position, and performing a precision landing using onbroad intelligence, computer vision, and state-of-the-art flight control software. this research is intended to address some of the issues associated with security in rural areas, for example, farmlands by providing a rapid response mechanism. An integrated hardware and software architecture was developed to achieve the aim and objectives of this research.
