The Development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Surveillance and Controlling the Spread of Golden Apple Snail in Rice fields

Abstract

The purpose of study was to development engineering design and prototype to unmanned aerial vehicle for surveillance and controlling the spread of golden apple snail in rice fields. . By using an aircraft with surveillance and image processing eliminates snail herbicide sprayed by using unmanned aircraft. By reducing the risk of medication throws himself to farmer. The work is divided has two parts: the operation of the aircraft (Quad rotor) in conjunction with Motor Pump installed on the aircraft by force directions fly unmanned aircraft to start of the remote mode Manual. the aircraft can remain in the air already. The will be flown to the lock position, height detector apple snail eggs. The image processing techniques HSV (Hue Saturation Value) to analyze the color of the golden apple snail eggs. The results showed that the prototype to unmanned aerial vehicle for surveillance and controlling the spread of golden apple snail in rice fields. The system detect airborne survey and snail eggs and spraying herbicide snail coordinates as defined by the assumption of 70%.
