| Summary: | The weather change of the recent decades caused changes that can be felt in Vojvodina, too. In this
economy which mostly relies on agriculture, farmlands are afflicted with floods one year and drought in
another. To balance these, canal systems are already built. Because of the size of the canal network, its
periodic monitoring requires huge amount of work and recourses. Our research investigates possibility of
aerial monitoring of regional irrigation and drainage canals using drones. Autonomous flying robots are
becoming more and more popular in recent years. This is happening because the technology they are
based on is getting less expensive, quadcopters have broken into the consumer market, so the
manufacturing costs are constantly decreasing. This enables them to be used both in research and in the
industry without having to pay huge amounts of money. In this research, a commercially available
quadcopter has been used to monitor water canals around the city. By design, the device has a built-in
camera and wireless internet capabilities. These allow to take photos, record video and upload them to the
controlling device. It is also possible to stream the live video to the device in real time. The controlling
device can be a personal computer, a tablet or even a mobile phone. It is planned that the client software
be extended with capability to upload video and photos to the cloud for later reference. Also, other
sensors can be added to the device, too. |
