DEPLOYABLE LOW COST OUTDOOR SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM WITH REMOTE ACCESS TO SENSOR IMAGERY

Click for clarifications for students' questions

·         Student teams are required to conceive, design and develop a prototype for “Low cost outdoor Surveillance system”. This product will be a working model for providing situational awareness by obtaining real-time information in outdoor applications

·         This competition envisages development of a suitable lightweight system in which a sensor is airborne for carrying out surveillance.

·         The sensor should remain airborne for a minimum of 2 minutes at a minimum height of 30m and above to do imaging of a proportionate area below.

·         Sensor should be able to detect man-sized objects in above-mentioned conditions.

·         Recognizable real time video information should be transmitted to the ground receiver point suitably located in the observation area.

·         Proposed solution should take up design of configuration and identification of suitable options for sensor, data link, ground observation & control points and other support system(s).

The most innovative solution will be evaluated by experts and suitably rewarded as follows:

·         Preliminary design (stage 1):

System configuration details comprising of  sensor, data link, observation, data processing mechanism and support system should form part of the design approach paper to be submitted for the stage 1 evaluation. A committee of experts will evaluate the proposals from the point of view of approach to the problem, innovation, originality, technical feasibility etc. Ten best design solutions will be awarded Rs. 50,000/- each.

·         Prototype (Stage2): 

Suitable prototype based on the stage 1 approach paper, along with detailed design document will have to be submitted for design evaluation and demonstration trials. The best team will be awarded first prize of Rs.3 lacs and second best team will be awarded Rs.2 lacs.

OTHER DETAILS

• The design approach paper submitted at stage 1 should be for a practical realization later in stage 2.

• A one-page abstract highlighting the innovation and the design approach should be submitted along with.

• The design approach paper (stage 1) should not be more than 10 pages excluding the figures/ sketches etc.
