Abstract/Summary

The study uses a quadrotor, specifically DJI Phanton 3 Advanced, that will survey the area autonomously following a flight plan. this plan is designed by using the DJI Phantom Onboard Software Development Kit (SDK). Having assigned a flight plan with custom waypoints, the quadrotor will travel waypoint-to-waypoint while taking pictures per meter interval. The value of the interval will depend on the altitude set to the quadrotor. The collected data from the quadrotor will be sent to the server PC via DJI lightbridge which is a built-in feature of the quadrotor. The computer will process each picture sent by the quadrotor and perform human detection and head counting. The dashboard consists of the map of the area surveyed with the pictures taken in the area along with their details- the date when the picture was taken and the number of people detected in that location, and the total number of people in the assigned area.
