| Abstract |
| Remote sensing is based on collecting data about an object or phenomenon from a distance without making physical contact with the object to obtain an accurate imaging data for performing analyses. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are becoming popular in monitoring and remote sensing applications. Due to their robustness, economical option for daily control operations, UAVs are used more and more for data logger applications. The primary objective of this work is to build a Remote sensing payload carried on a drone for collecting images in specified target location used in full autonomous systems in remote sensing applications. The proposed payload system design is based on an Arduino microcontroller, GPS module and Memory chip. The system is capable of capturing target images and storing it up in the memory with its associated GPS information. This target image capturing can be repeated for a list of targeted locations in the same route of drone fly. The system was successfully designed, implemented and tested. The data acquired has been validated and found to be accurate. For the easy use of the system, you can inter the target location through google Map and it will be stored directly on the system before flying. After the Captured images from the mission is stored on the memory of the payload system. |
