Remote Sensing using Internet of Things IOT

Abstract

We always wish to see the live images and videos of wildlife animals in the forest of our own choice. But, the system are expensive, large size, hard to install and immovable after installed. Just imagine a picture in which a herd of elephants walk by, forming a silhouette against the setting sun. They stop to cool down in the heat and take a bath. Nearby a group of zebra graze on. Wouldn’t it be spectacular to be able to watch this imagery from the comfort of your home? Not only is this an appealing scene for wildlife enthusiasts, but the prospect of obtaining such wildlife data is highly beneficial for conservation and would be a great driver to reducing activities such as poaching. Poaching has troubled people for years, by disturbing the ecosystem. Wildlife poaching has negative side-effects that affect local communities, wildlife populations, and the environment. It is a crime fuelled by a lucrative black market trade of animal parts. What’s the one major problem with this scenario? Why is this not yet a reality if it has so many benefits? The answer lies in the fact that such areas are too remote to have internet connectivity, and even if they do, services are quite limited. In this project, not only do we discuss how to go around this problem, but also provide a step by step guide on how you could create a setup of your own that would achieve the same objectives of remote data transfer. The Internet of Things is a phenomena that is quickly spreading across technology related circles. It revolves around the connectivity of devices to the internet and how we can process and utilize data being generated by these devices and being stored on the cloud, and sometimes go a step further and use this data to trigger desired outputs. To solve this problem we have designed a system which do Remote Sensing using Internet of Things (IoT). For this system we are using raspberry Pi B along with other sensors like motor, camera and Infrared sensors.
