Abstract
Blackbox is a recorder which records the data of the flight, it contains data like altitude, direction of plane, temperature, pressure. If
accident occurs the data is recorded only by blackbox but if the plane is missed into ocean it is too difficult to find the blackbox. Blackbox only
transmit the ping sounds (ultrasonic sound) from the underwater, the sound can travel through the sea water but due to some parameters of water
the sound does not reach the surface of the water efficiently, so in this project a white spy robot is assisted for recording and transmitting the
location via GPS and wireless camera to the ATC unit of the Airforce department.

Keywords: PIC Controller, GPS Transceiver, Temperature Sensor, Wireless Camera, DC Motor.

INTRODUCTION
Due to delay and inaccuracy in the rescue mission, a white spy robot is assisted to overcome these difficulties. A white spy robot is
nothing but it is a spy which tracks the path of the disappeared flight by accessing the GPS and wireless camera. In addition to this temperature
sensor is also included to know whether any explosion takes place or not. When both the engines get shutdown the robot will automatically fly
from the surface of the flight and flies constantly after reaching some distance from the flight. At the time of activation, the controller starts to
enable the devices in the robot. With the help of the motor, the device will fly high. The GPS will track the location and send data through
satellite, the wireless camera capture the video, we can easily locating the flight by using its IP address.

EXISTING SYSTEM
Using blackboxes, the avionics crew will find the misery behind the airplane disappearance from radar. Black box collects the cockpit
records and measurements such as the altitude, temperature, direction, pressure, engines details, fuel details. It can work upto 25 hours from the
flight take off. It contains a beacon which produces the ultrasound[2] when it is in underwater; the duration of the pinger sound is about 30 to 90
days. So many approaches have been araised like floating black box, airplane buddy system, underwater[1] acoustic system. But everything
consumes time to detect the disappeared flight. In figure 1 shows that model of the black box. The main drawback of the system is black box are
floating on the water, due to huge force of waves it move far away from the exact location of the plane. Due to some parameters of ocean,
Beacons does not have that much capacity to transmit the sound immediately outside the water, hence it leads to large time consumption.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
To get a real time response the white spy robot is assisted. After both the engines stopped its working, the robot which is attached to the planes
surface starts to work within few seconds it move on from the plane using blades which is operated by dc motor .Actually it is a microcontroller
based robot. The white spy robot contains GPS, wireless camera and temperature sensor.

BLOCK DIAGRAM
The block diagram consists of power supply, PIC microcontroller, temperature sensor, LCD, wireless camera, GPS, motor, memory and blades.

Figure 2: Block diagram

In figure 2 shows that the block diagram of PIC interface and controller. Here PIC16f877a is used which act as the heart of the robot.
Microcontroller is also known as compact embedded systems. PIC controls the overall operation of the robot when an interrupt is enabled.
LM35 is a sensing device used to sense temperature where the robot is flying.A liquid-crystal display 16x2 segment display is connected to the
PIC controller to display the temperature value and the location of the flight in the screen.The relay is an electro-mechanical device that works
on electrical power. The relay is used for activating the robot when both the engines of the flight get shut down. If 0 means the relay is OFF, If 1
means the relay is ON. A 12v DC motor used here controls the blades rotation. It is controlled by the microcontroller using the input from the
supply. It is a object tracking device through satellites. After the activation of the robot the GPS starts to trace the location of plane and send the
information to the Air Traffic Control Unit (ATC) via satellite communication. The wireless camera capture the video or picture and send them
to its corresponding user with the help of IP address. After activating the robot the wireless camera starts to take video and information can be
gained by the ATC using the IP address of the camera.

Working Of The White Spy Robot System

If the flight undergoes any crush or sudden shutdown, by using the relay the white spy robot start to move from the surface of the flight
automatically or manually by a switch which is incorporated in flight. Once the robot is activated the PIC activates the motor, which inturn
rotates the blades, after it flies for a small height and flies constantly in a constant place, the microcontroller activates the GPS, temperature
sensor, and the wireless camera. The GPS tracks the flights location after disappeared from the RADAR and communicates the ATC via
satellite communication and it also activates the wireless camera for capturing the video of the missed airplane, actually it will cover a wide area
because when the flight fall down it constantly flies in the space and capture the video of the falling flight. By using the wireless camera IP
address the ATC can extract the information about the disappeared flight.

Attachement Of Surveillance System To The Quadcopter

The crop surveillance quadcopter model is done by first preparing a quadcopter and a infra red camera is attached to the bottom of it and then
using the infra red camera and proper image processing systems. This makes the structure of the overall concept. The figure shows the block
diagram of the quadcopter with infra red camera setup attached to it. The block diagram mainly shows the important outlined components or
elements of this quadcopter. This block diagram makes us to easily understand about how this fire surveillance application is been done with the
help of quadcopter.

Figure 4: Block diagram of prototype

The diagram as in figure [4] chiefly consists of the key components. the key components area unit as follows
FLIGHT CONTROLLER - This forms the card of the copter. It managements each part of the copter with the assistance of transmitter and
receiver RC control remote. they're simply configurable and may be employed in any particoloured modes.
BATTERY - Battery is required to supply power to the complete power grid of the copter. thus here metal compound battery is employed
because it is that the lightest battery within the world. they offer long life, easy maintenance and have a reliable performance.
TRANSMITTER AND RECIEVER - For us to control the copter from a place we need to have transmitter and receiver. Here we are using 6
channel transmitter and a receiver which is fixed to the copter. The transmitter is used to send signals of aileron, elevator, throttle, and rudder.
This RC transmitter and receiver used here is operated at the frequency range of 2.4GHz.
ESC - Electronic speed controller is an important element of the copter as it controls the speed of the motors for yaw, pitch and roll movements.
This ESC provides mainly smooth start up characteristics, can be used with Lithium Polymer batteries also.

BLDC MOTOR Brushless DC motors are mounted on the legs of the copter for aviation and direction. They are very much preferable here for
the design of the quadcopter because of its property of light weight, they generally provides high rpm rate than any other convectional motors
with that kilovolts of voltage provided by it. The properties of the brushless DC motors are light weight, low cost, high rpm and high efficiency.
INFRA RED CAMERA The applications of remote temperature sensing of plants by infrared thermograph and infrared thermometry depend
on the sensitivity of leaf temperature to evaporation rate. In most applications, such as in the early or pre-symptomatic detection of disease or
water deficits, what is actually being studied is the effect of the disease on membrane permeability to water. Hence the variation in temperature
differs from plant to plant based on the size of pores on the leaves. Based on the image of the non-infected crop, all other crops health is
determined by comparing the infrared image of both the crops. The entire image processing program is operated in matlab software.

Figure 5: Attaching infra red camera to the quadcopter base

IMAGE process - Infrared (IR) lightweight is radiation with longer wavelengths than those of actinic radiation, extending from the nominal red
fringe of the color spectrum at 700 nm to one millimeter. Infrared image has proven its presence across wide selection of thermal sensing
applications. As totally completely different wavelengths represent different shade of sunshine, image process is finished on supported
constituent worth of the image. The captured infrared image of a crop is then analyzed with Matlab programming.

Outputs And Reviews Of Demonstration

Quad copter with the infra red camera is made to fly to the crop zone. It is then used to target the crops by turning in the direction of focusing
crop. The infra red camera captures the crop images as shown in figure (6 a).this infra red camera images is different from the normal camera
images. The camera mounted on the quadcopter gives the live view of the situation. The defected crop is shown in figure (6 b). the unperfected
that is the healthy crop infra red camera image is shown in the figure (6 c).

CONCLUSION
This quadcopter can be used easily from any location, which makes it a very useful device in application like surveillance of crops. This we have
proposed in an idea of life saving in areas which are inaccessible by humans. Even a person sitting in a wheelchair can also contribute to help
people who are stuck in the building. Children can also control it. There is no need of physical fitness of the controller. It can reach high in very
less time as compared to the time taken by human beings. So hence we hope that this idea would be useful to the society in terms of life saving.
The core intention of this project is to make a robust design of a Quadcopter which can be used in the market for agricultural surveillance use.
We chose the Quadcopter for our UAV design since it has interesting design elements with stability and potential for marketable gains. At this
point the prime focuses of the project is to reduce human efforts in agricultural surveillance by appropriate use of image processing. At the end,
this project will able to specify total healthy yield of crop in the farm by amalgamation of aerodynamics, machine vision and microcontrollers.
This project being flexible allows changing the functions it performs and also allows integration of any technology that would prove to be useful.
This project will clearly demonstrated the goals of proving that small scale UAVs are useful across a broad range of applications.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
o It can be made completely autonomous using temperature sensors and image recognition techniques.

o Along with firefighting, it can be used to carry small first aid kit so that the injury can be treated at the primary level till the injured
person is rescued from the building.

o It can be connected to a global positioning system so that the position of quad and people to be rescued can be easily traced.
