Abstract

The idea proposed here is the introduction of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) named “Drishya” to tackle the situation of the spread of novel coronavirus. The UAV has been equipped with all the necessary technologies to cater to such adverse situations. Drishya’s main objective is to monitor social distancing and trace COVID-19 infected suspects with the help of two cameras, one for normal vision and the other for high range thermal optimization. The thermal camera will be able to detect any suspect with a temperature higher than normal and hence can be sent for screening. With such technology least human intervention is required on the field which makes it more safe. This process is a better alternative due to its high efficiency and least human involvement. It is most applicable for high transmission areas or rather the areas symbolized as a red zone. It also acts as a helping hand for the medical teams out for screening person to person.
