Sending pictures over radio systems of trail cam in border security and directing uavs to the right areas

Abstract

In this study, a method is proposed for the trail cams to send data via narrow band communication systems in border security and counter-terrorism areas and to direct drones to the right areas. The success of UAVs lies in scanning the correct areas for observation or detection. UAVs should be fed with data to observe the correct regions, and the probability of detecting border security or terrorist elements should be increased. Instantaneous detection is performed by trail cam, which generally operate dependent on GSM. However, these devices cannot provide real-time data in border areas with low population density and no GSM service, particularly in counter-terrorism operations. In this study, the dependence of trail cam devices on GSM was eliminated, and data transfer over the radio system was established to enable real-time data flow in a wide field. After the trail cam device makes a detection, the data is sent via the APCO-25 JEMUS radio system with a capacity of 9.6 KB. The resolution of the detection image is reduced, allowing it to be displayed on a remote-control computer in less than one minute. As a result of the study, when an intelligent trail cam with object recognition capability is developed, the device can assess what the image might be in real-time. Obtaining real time detection data from trail cams in border areas and counter-terrorism zones without GSM infrastructure can expedite the direction of UAVs to the correct regions for intervention by military units. Additionally, confirming that trail cam detects via narrowband communication systems in locations where units are temporarily stationed and without alpine terrain minimizes the surveillance vulnerability of UAVs unable to perform imaging due to adverse weather conditions. This also establishes a warning system against potential attacks by terrorist elements.
