Quadcopter Video Surveillance UAV - Project
The ultimate goal of our project is to create a live aerial
video feed which can be processed and stored. This technology can be used for search
and rescue, firefighting, law enforcement, military, and news reporting by
being able to deploy aerial correspondence much faster than conventional
helicopters. The end result of producing a digital video signal will allow for
future expansions such as UAV sentience, target tracking and video compression.
There are many components to this project and we must decide
which areas will developed ourselves and which areas will be implemented with
3rd party products. The three main components of the UAV are the
quadcopter/controller system, the video transmission system, and the digital
video analysis system.
The quadcopter chassis and controller system consists of
everything needed to build and control the flying platform in which the camera
will be mounted. This includes a frame, DC motors, power supply, rotors, flight
control circuit board, flight control software, and an RC controller.
The video transmission system consists of the components
that record, transmit, and display the live video to the controller. Included
are the camera, transmitter, receiver, and display.
The digital video analysis system will take the raw video
data, convert it to digital if necessary, and load it into a program. This
system will need a video capture card, a computer receiver, and video
processing software.
