Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), also known as drones have
many applications and they are a current trend across many industries.
They can be used for delivery, sports, surveillance, professional
photography, cinematography, military combat, natural
disaster assistance, security, and the list grows every day. Programming
opens an avenue to automate many processes of daily
life and with the drone as aerial programmable eyes, security and
surveillance can become more efficient and cost effective. At
Barry University, parking is becoming an issue as the number
of people visiting the school greatly outnumbers the convenient
parking locations. This has caused a multitude of hazards in parking
lots due to people illegally parking, as well as unregistered
vehicles parking in reserved areas. In this paper, we explain how
automated drone surveillance is utilized to detect unauthorized
parking at Barry University. The automated process is incorporated
into Java application and completed in three steps: collecting
visual data, processing data automatically, and sending automated
responses and queues to the operator of the system. Full Text
