Resumen

In aerial surveillance systems, achieving optimal object detection precision is of paramount importance for effective monitoring and reconnaissance. This article presents a novel approach to enhance object detection accuracy through the integration of Delaunay triangulation with multi-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems. The methodology involves positioning multiple UAVs at pre-specified locations using the Delaunay triangulation algorithm with performance of O (n log n). This is compared with the conventional single UAV approach at a near distance. Our findings reveal that the collaborative efforts of multiple UAVs, guided by Delaunay triangulation, significantly improves object detection accuracy, especially when compared to a single UAV operating in close proximity. This research employs advanced image processing techniques to identify objects in the area under surveillance. Results indicate a substantial enhancement in the collective surveillance capabilities of the multi-UAV system, demonstrating its efficacy in unconstrained scenarios. This research not only contributes to the optimization of aerial surveillance operations but also underscores the potential of spatially informed UAV networks for applications demanding heightened object detection accuracy. The integration of Delaunay triangulation with multi-UAV systems emerges as a promising strategy for advancing the capabilities of aerial surveillance in scenarios ranging from security and emergency response to environmental monitoring.
