Abstract :
As the human pays more and more attention to the exploration of marine resources, the marine activities show diversity. At the aspect of the exploration of some uncharted and potentially dangerous waters or islands, the marine low altitude surveillance UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) is obviously very important. As a tool to obtain first-hand information, UAV can take off near the monitored area. Carrying with a high-definition camera, altimeter, GPS, barometric pressure and humidity sensors, the UAV can monitor the area for real-time, get the latitude and longitude of specific landmarks, measure altitude and barometric pressure and humidity and etc. Therefore we can have a general understanding of the whole area to eliminate risk factors. In addition, for different application environments, UAV can be equipped with different monitoring devices, which makes the application for more flexible and the areas for more diversity.
