Smart aerial monitoring system to prevent human wildlife intervention

Abstract

In India, agriculture is one of the crucial factors for inspecting India’s economy. Proper supervision of this sector leads to an exceptional yield. India, being a densely populated country, has encountered frequent and often fatal conflicts due to the share of land and other natural resources among humans and the elephants, in specific. Recent statistics have exhibited that approximately 28000 elephants are distributed over 3% over India’s geographical area. Human encroachment continues to grow around elephant habitats which results in colossal damage to the crop yield and human life. Technologies like AI and ML are prominent in unraveling the distinct challenges of the modern society. This paper focuses on the design and implementation of a IoT and ML enabled smart drone to intervene the association between humans and elephants to protect both human life as well as the crop yield.
