Abstract
Development of an Autonomous Surface Vessel for Use as a Drone Base Station
Highlights
Drones are increasingly used to provide cost-effective surveillance and monitoring of fixed sites and plants.[1,2] in the case of surveillance and monitoring of extensive coastlines, drones are limited in a number of aspects
An operator needs to drive to a given site, from which the drone can be operated within a range up to about 7 km using a remote control unit
This can be extended by using mobile connections, whereby the range will be limited by the drone’s battery and the mobile phone coverage of the area to be monitored
Summary
Drones are increasingly used to provide cost-effective surveillance and monitoring of fixed sites and plants.[1,2] in the case of surveillance and monitoring of extensive coastlines, drones are limited in a number of aspects. An operator needs to drive to a given site, from which the drone can be operated within a range up to about 7 km using a remote control unit. This can be extended by using mobile connections, whereby the range will be limited by the drone’s battery and the mobile phone coverage of the area to be monitored. A more cost-efficient mechanism using a combination of coastal satellite images and fixed-camera and drone-based camera data, the correlation between these data sets, and AI is being evaluated and compared with current monitoring techniques, which typically involve sending people out to specific sites to estimate the amounts of types of debris.
