Abstract
The present invention is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) monitoring system, comprising a UAV that monitors a surface of a water body while hovering over water body. UAV comprises an image sensor that captures a field-of-view (FOV) when one or more events are identified from a surface of water body and a first transceiver that transmits an encoded captured FOV. UAV monitoring system further comprises a base unit located at an elevated point in a water vehicle and configured to dock UAV. Base unit comprises a second transceiver that receives encoded FOV from first transceiver, a decoder that decodes received encoded FOV, a graphics processing unit that generates a three-dimensional rendering and virtual graphic animation based on decoded FOV, and a ground control unit that communicates generated three-dimensional rendering and virtual graphic animation to one or more display devices coupled to base unit.
