Research
Project worth Rs.2.24 Crore for UIET, PU
Vinay Kumar
Chandigarh
University Institute of Engineering and Technology(UIET), Panjab
University bagged
another research project, second in row, amounting to Rs. 2.24 Crore
from Ministry of Electronics & Information Technology (MeitY),
Government of India under the title ‘Development of 5G based UAV Augmented
Intelligent Monitoring and Surveillance System’. Future networks like 5G
will have more reachability, better service architecture and higher speed
for IoT(Internet of Things) and Artificial Intelligence based citizen
centric smart monitoring, security, health, mobility related
applications etc. The service architecture of 5G communication technology
will lend support to concurrent execution of variety of M2M(Machine to
Machine) services. This technology will play a major role in Smart City
mission and solving India specific challenges. Recently, Government of India has released guidelines for drone usages.
Data collected using policy compliant Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) will
work in augmentation to sensors’ data to offer more accurate and
reliable monitoring and security. Faculty members at Telecommunication Laboratory, UIET worked on
this recent development. The proposed work will implement a layered framework
for seamless Device to Device (D2D) communication and control while
collaborating modern technologies over 5 G communications. Different layers
will support varied functionality and will offer choice of services to end
users. The integration of data storage on Cloud with machine learning
models will enable real-time availability of data and help to run
independent data analytics and applications offering flexible services to
all stakeholders. The proposed framework can be used for deployment of
applications like Mob behavior analysis, Traffic analysis, Detection of
intruders, Verification of land records, Illegal sand mining, Monitoring
and detection of breeding areas for various diseases, etc. The project
will also help to build facilities for state-of-the-art
research facilities for faculty, post-graduate students and research
scholars to work on their research projects in this area and to enhance
collaboration with the industry. Some of the objectives of project
include: Setup of unified 5G platform for M2M communication and
understanding UAV policy framework, Development of framework for capturing
data using policy compliant UAVs, its storage and management, Developing
Machine learning models for surveillance analytics and intelligent event detection,
Performance Analysis and verification of the proposed system. The project
has the Coral Telecom Limited as Industry Partner contributing 10% of the
project cost. The project is in continuation with their earlier project
titled “Development of Unified IP based Communication Platform for Voice,
Video, Data, Messaging and Chat Services” which led to development of a
product ‘Nah-Sanchar’. It is a soft switching system which is deployed at
various army cantonments with the help of industry partner. In the
current project, the team will work on developing indigenous IMS that will
work on the top of 4G/5G network to provide connectivity and communication
support to UAVs (drones) to carry out monitoring and surveillance
perations. The work will have applications in different areas like
Disaster Management, Military Surveillance, Mob Behavior Analysis,
Detection of intruders, Traffic sensing and analysis, Verification of land
records, Detection of illegal sand mining, Monitoring and detection of breeding areas of various diseases, and
so on. The system is also intended to be coupled with machine learning
models for detection of events and generation of alerts. The research team
led by Professor Sarbjeet Singh consists of Prof. Harish Kumar, Professor
Sakshi Kaushal, Dr. Akashdeep, Dr. Arun Kumar and Dr. Naresh Kumar.
