UAV Test Jig is used to  fine tune UAVs   to fix its  performance.

    • Aerial survey of Agricultural land

Conducting Aerial Surveyplays a significant role in Agriculture. With  aGoPro camera  fitted on UAV,  our  UAV team  developed an application to conduct Aerial Survey of agricultural land.This idea  is useful – by taking videos  of the land periodically-  comparing and with previous records.     By this,  we can extract  valuable information like,  distribution of water to the plants in the agricultural  field  ,  pest infected zones  in the land ,  crop yield .  This is the cheapest method to conduct aerial survey of lands.

  • Animal and Bird menace

Animal and Bird menace  is a common problem to  farmers.  While animals   like wild  pigs  spoil the crops,   birds eat away  most of the produce  ( grains, sunflower seeds  etc.).This menace can be minimized by scaring them with huge sounds  and/or by shining intense light into their eyes.   UAV Team developed a solution to this  problem  by  mounting  Air Horn and Powerful Light Source   on the UAV  and making it  hover in the sky randomly  in the farmer’s land,  to scare away  birds   and  animals.

  • Building High Payload UAVS   (Application : Spraying pesticides  from UAVs
    Designing a UAV  to Spray pesticides in the agricultural requires addressing a number of  design metrics like payload Vs.  the power source,  capacity of the pesticide tank ,  time of flight per one time charge of batteries      Presently,  we could carry a payload of  nearly one Gallon of pesticide on UAV  and spray

  • Intelligent Eye for the Blind and Visually impaired with a hearing aid
    The objective of this work is to help blind persons and the visually impaired, to read text label on product packages, bus routes, medicine bottles and handouts. For this purpose image to text conversion can be performed using image processing algorithms and several techniques to recognise character and conversion of this character to text and then to speech is required. The text regions must be localized automatically from which the character recognition must be done and then the text extraction. Each letter must be recognized by learning method. The extracted text then be converted into speech by using Speech Application Programming Interface(SAPI).

This Project has been applied to NASSCOM Social Innovation Forum and cleared two levels.
