Real-Time Monitoring System Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Integrated With Sensor Observation Service

Abstract

ABSTRACT:The Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) is an emerging technology being adapted for a wide range of applications. Real-time monitoring is essential to enhance the effectiveness of UAV applications. Sensor networks are networks constructed from various sensor nodes. International standard such as OGC's SOS (Sensor Observation Service) makes it possible to share sensor data with other systems as well as to provide accessibility to globally distributed users. In this paper, we propose a system combining UAV technology and sensor network technology to use an UAV as a mobile node of sensor network so that the sensor data from UAV is published and shared real-time. A UAV can extend the observation range of a sensor network to remote areas where it is usually difficult to access such as disaster area. We constructed a UAV system using remote-controlled helicopter and various sensors such as GPS, gyrocompass, laser range finder, Digital camera and Thermometer. Furthermore, we extended the Sensor Observation Service (SOS) and Sensor Service Grid (SSG) to support mobile sensor nodes. Then, we conducted experiments of flying the helicopter over an area of the interest. During the flight, the system measured environmental data using its sensors and captured images of the ground. The data was sent to a SOS node as the ground station via Wi-Fi which was published using SSG to give realtime access to globally distributed users. * Corresponding author.

RMC: Real-Time Monitoring and Controlling Approach on Networks

“…Operations are enhanced according to the goal entitled by the organiser of the network. Clients participating in a network are organised with their IP address listed in the server for regulating a systematic process of evaluating a solution to the improper work issue of the clients in the field [15,22]. RMC approach is proposed for achieving those requirements of an organisation working on temporal changes made across a network.…”

“…Monitoring alone could not show an efficient result in the organization. With the help of monitoring aspects, controlling of each activity of the clients is to be enhanced in this state [15]. Servers are not in a safe mode operation such as the clients working in their network can make some illegal source of operation against the network.…”

Design and Development of a Low–cost Aerial Mobile Mapping System for Multi-Purpose Applications

“…In recent years the close-range photogrammetry arises with the use of UAV's (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). We find this technology in a large number of applications, such as in "Disaster Research and Management" (Adams & Friedland, 2011); in "Rapid Aerial Monitoring for Emergency Responses" (Choi & Lee, 2011); in "Remote Sensing and Mapping" (Everaerts, 2008 andEisenbeiss, 2011); in "3D Mapping" ( Jutzi, Weinmann & Meidow, 2013); in "Mobile 3D Mapping for Surveying Earthwork" (Siebert & Teizer, 2013); in "Landslide Surveying" (Carvajal, Agüera & Pérez, 2011); in "Applications for the Coal Industry" (Riley & Crowe, 2006); in archaeology (Seitz & Altenbach, 2011); in "Three-Dimensional Building Reconstruction" (Wefelscheid, Hänsch, & Hellwich, 2011); in "Real-Time Monitoring" (Witayangkurn, Nagai, Honda, Dailey & Shibasaki, 2011) and many more. .…”

Efficient Media Independent Handover Scheme for MissionCritical Management

“…The disaster detection framework designed in [2] can collect sensor data and image data by using UAV with payload sensor platform. Data that is collected must be viewable by operator at ground station unit as well as central agencies which can access from Internet through Sensor Service Grid (SSG).…”
