IoT based detection of bore-well unclosed holes using automated drone operated cameras in a remote area

Abstract

Abstract In the current era, most of the accidents occur due to the borewells that are left unclosed and many children got trapped in them. Those borewells remain as a hell to many children. These borewells have played endlessly in most of the innocent lives. This process is very difficult to rescue the children away from the borewells. To avoid this critical situation, we must prevent the children from falling in borewells. Here, we came up with an idea to take precaution in order to save many infant lives. The main objective of the system is to fix a Drone camera in a remote area to find the borewells that remain uncovered. After finding the borewells, we have to find whether it is a normal hole or a depth pothole. So to detect the size of a hole, we attached an ultrasonic sensor on the bottom of the drone for identifying the potholes and also to measure the height and depth of a bore well respectively. If the depth and height of the bore well is large, the information will be send to the respected officials to properly close the bore well accordingly. These details will be updated to the cloud for maintaining the information in timeline. Hence, we can save number of lives of children from falling in borewells.
