SkyProbe - UAV for Crisis Probing

SkyProbe is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle based on DJI Phantom 4, incorporating Clarifai Computer Vision API which can detect natural crisis such as forest fires and debris flows in rural areas.

This project is the final 9 projects out of 60 competing teams at HACKxFDU and was awarded DJI Innovation and Entrepreneurship Award.

Hardwares Specifications

SkyProbe concept uses the following hardware:

• DJI Phantom 4, a consumer-grade 4-axis aerial drone pre-equipped with one main camera with 180 degree vision and four auxiliary cameras. Product link: http://www.dji.com/phantom-4
• Ruff Internet of Things kit, a JavaScript-based IoT kit which is very user-friendly to newbies, especially for the front-end developers who are unfamiliar with hardware and wiring. Ruff is a JavaScript runtime specialized in IoT development. Ruff makes embedded coding easy and more efficient by providing HAL, asynchronous I/O, and event-driven programming.
