Hi all,

I am new to video streaming. My drone is mounted with a camera and it captures continuous live feed and then pass to the jetson nano and jetson will perform on board object detection, the object detection resultant images which are processed by jetson nano, i need to pass these images to the ground station which is at 5km away from the drone, any idea how to achieve this which would be a great help to me. Also will rtsp or some file transfer protocol works here to transfer the image data to the ground station without active internet connection. My application should not use internet connectivity,if not are there any radio transmitter modules that can be connected to jetson for long range image transmission.Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Welcome to the NVIDIA Developer forums! Your topic will be best served in the Jetson category.

I will move this over for visibility.

Cheers,

Hi,
Generally we encode frame data to h264/h265 and transmit the stream through network in RTSP or UDP. For a without-internet solution, would see if other users can share experience.

Hi,
Please connect Jetson Nano with your Linux host PC through type-A to micro-B adapter. Connect to type-A port on host PC and micro-B port on Jetson Nano. So that you can login Jetson Nano through ssh:

$ ssh _user_name_@192.168.55.1

And can use scp to transmit files.

Hi @DaneLLL , but my host PC is located at the ground station, which is 5km away from the drone. I need wireless image transmission from the drone which captures images and process in jetson nano mounted on top of drone to the host system(ground station) at a distance of 5km without using the internet. This is my end goal.

Hi,
We think internet is required in the use-case. You can insert wireless module to the Key-E slot on Jetson Nano developer kit. So that Jetson Nano can connect to wireless AP to connect to internet.

Hi @DaneLLL , I can connect to the internet as suggested by you, but my drone Is operating in remote areas, so I cannot expect the internet to be there while flying. We performed the test using the internet, but after a certain range, we failed to receive the image due to loss in signal, so looking for solutions that don’t need the internet.

Hi,
In the use-case, a possible solution is to have two services. One is to save the video content to storage in mp4 or mkv files. The other is to check internet connection and transmit the video content. Once the file is transmitted, delete the file in storage.
