3. 3 ECE Department What is a thermal mapping drone (TMD?) Remote controlled quadcopter that will record and display a thermal image of the area that it has flown over

4. 4 ECE Department What’s already out there?

5. 5 ECE Department What makes ours different? Remote controlled (user friendly) User can map a wide range of areas Cost effective Stitching multiple thermal images together will allow a larger map to be generated without expensive equipment (i.e. satellites, high res thermal camera)

6. 6 ECE Department Possible Applications  Homes  Forests  Oceans  Search and Rescue  Agriculture  Glaciers

7. 7 ECE Department Focus (Home Map)  Allow user to generate a thermal map of their home’s exterior  Data will be transmitted to and processed on their computer order to analyze IR sensor’s readings  Users can discover areas where heat escapes

8. 8 ECE Department How significant is the problem?  In New England average winter cost of heating $1400 last year.  Expected to continue to rise  10-20% home energy wasted through leak Image Source: http://www.mass.gov/eea/energy-utilities-clean-tech/misc/household-heating-costs.html

9. 9 ECE Department Societal Impact  Save money  Save energy  Build more efficiently http://www.momgoesgreen.com/category/10-simple-ways/page/2/

10. 10 ECE Department Requirements Analysis: User Specifications  2D Arial Thermal Map on a GUI  Use of Infra-Red Sensor for thermal mapping  Stable flight control  Project cost under $500 Image source: http://www.howdonkey.com/33213-fly-and-rc-quadcopter/#.VEE1z_ldV7s
