Design And Construction Of A Drone With Surveillance Camera And Insecticide Sprayer
The design and construction of a drone equipped with both surveillance camera and insecticide sprayer represent a sophisticated integration of technologies for aerial reconnaissance and pest control. This innovative device combines the capabilities of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with surveillance systems and agricultural tools, catering to various sectors including agriculture, forestry, and security. The surveillance camera component enables real-time monitoring and data collection, facilitating tasks such as crop assessment, perimeter security, and environmental monitoring. Simultaneously, the insecticide sprayer functionality addresses pest management challenges by providing efficient and targeted application of pesticides, thereby enhancing crop yield and minimizing environmental impact. This hybrid drone system exemplifies the convergence of aerial robotics, sensing technology, and agricultural practices, offering versatile solutions for diverse applications in modern agriculture and surveillance operations.

1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The UAV is commonly known as UAS or, more precisely, as a drone, which can flyautonomously. UAV traditionally has a steadfast backdrop in aerodynamics, momentumarrangements,andtheoreticalphysics’practicalrules.Intherecentfewyears,ithasalsobeen a band of smart agriculture [Yallappa et al, 2017]. Smart agriculture is data-driven; UAVs can correctlyreceive and equitably distribute this information, allowing producers to take steps based onindividualsoilcircumstances.Precisionfarming,cropmonitoring,geographicaltracking,andfieldmappingareafewsectorswhereUAVsplayamassiverole[Yallappa et al, 2017].Imageanalysisis the essence of a UAV. In image analysis, the photos are promptly captured by UAVcamera, and it is then adjusted to enhance the quality using various software to exploretypically and precisely the target area and correctly recognize the unconventional objects.AgriculturalUAVproperlyutilizesimageprocessingtosaveanaccuraterecordofplants’growth, quality of the active area, pest control, etc.The dynamic UAV marketplace ispresently strongly patchy, with diverse software providers and professionals competingfiercelyinadditiontoleadingmanufacturers,andthepredictedvalueofUAVSolutionsinthe agriculturalindustryismorethan$32billion[Kurkute et al, 2018].
The Nigerian Agricultural sector is the most important sector asit amounts to a staggering 18% of Nigeria’s Gross DomesticProduct (GDP) and also provides employment to 50% of thenationalhumanworkforce.Ourcountryisdependentonagriculture so much, has yet to tap into the real potential ofagriculture,becauseofimpropermethodsofmonitoringcropsand the irrigation patterns and the pesticides required to beapplied. This project aims to developUnmannedAerialVehicle(UAV)forovercomingthisproblem and also spay large amounts of pesticideswithinsmaller interval of timeusingOctocopter.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Manual insecticide spraying involves much labour takes much time and the spraying causesmanyharmfulsideeffectstothepersonnelinvolvedinthesprayingprocess.TheExposureeffectscanrangefrommildskinirritation to birth defects, tumors, genetic changes, blood andnervedisorders,endocrinedisruption,comaordeath.TheWHO(WorldHealthOrganization)estimatedasonemillioncasesofillaffected,whensprayingthepesticidesinthecropfieldmanually (WHO, 2017). It was because of these problems that led to invention of agricultural drone. UnmannedAerialVehicle(UAV) was built toovercome theseproblems.
1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES
The main aim of this work is to carry out a research on the invention of drone for surveillance and agricultural purpose. The objectives are:
- To provide easier, faster, and cheaper method of agriculture.
- To increase productivity.
- To promote the health of agriculturist.
1.4 SIGINIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
This research work will throw more light on the best techniques for monitoring and pest/insect control. This study will also be designed to be of immense benefit to all the users of drone and also to intended users of the device.
With this study, all the application of the drone shall be made known to the reader
1.5 SCOPE OD THE STUDY
The scope of this work is on a drone for agricultural purpose. The device was built with sprayingmechanism having 12 V pump, 6 Litre storage capacity tank,4nozzles to atomize in fine spray , an octocopter configurationframe,suitablelandingframe,8BrushlessDirectCurrent(BLDC) motors with suitable propellers to produce requiredthrustabout 38.2KG(at 100%RPM) andsuitableLithium-Polymer(LI-PO)batteryofcurrentcapacity22000mAhto meet necessary current and voltage requirements.
1.6 LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
As we all know that no human effort to achieve a set of goals goes without difficulties, certain constraints were encountered in the course of carrying out this project and they are as follows:-
- Difficulty in information collection: I found it too difficult in laying hands of useful information regarding drone and this course me to visit different libraries and internet for solution.
- Financial Constraint: Insufficient fund tends to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature or information and in the process of data collection (internet).
- Time Constraint: The researcher will simultaneously engage in this study with other academic work. This consequently will cut down on the time devoted for the research work
1.7 DEFINITION OF TERMS
Surveillance: Surveillance is the monitoring of behavior, activities, or information for the purpose of information gathering, influencing, managing or directing
