Visual Tracking and Surveillance System

Abstract

Our project focuses on a surveillance system that can be provided in case of a hazard when communication has been cut down. An unmanned aerial vehicle preferably a quad rotor helicopter sent to the hazard spot showing a live video telecast at the operating side can give information about the hazard substantially. The system consists of mainly a webcam for live video tracking and also different sensors for knowing the condition of vehicle location. The location of the vehicle is given with the help of a GPS module incorporated on the system. The controller used here for different communication and control purposes is PIC16F877A, this PIC being easily available and latest in the market. The wireless communication between the system, including the dummy vehicle, and the user (PC) is by Zigbee wireless communication system. Presently the system built by us lacks the size compatibility to be mounted on an actual quad copter. By reducing the size by integration we can actually mount it on a quad copter. By various additions on the system it can be actually used for disaster management and defence purposes.
