Abstract(in English) Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are attracting great interests and popularities among academia, industry, business as well as common consumers, because they flexibly extend the mobilities from 2D to 3D space and are expected to be applied to and deeply transform a wide range of applications, among which the real-time high-resolution video surveillance system using UAV especially gains our research interests. Conventional surveillance systems using cameras with fixed locations severely suffer the blind spots, owning to the inevitable view blockage and inappropriate deployments. Instead, by using the UAV equipped with cameras, the surveillance performance can be drastically improved because their high mobilities make it possible to flexibly avoid any blockage in the view path. Besides, the video quality is also a key factor of the surveillance performance, especially for the automatic monitoring system. The high-resolution and high-quality video can greatly improve the detection accuracy. However, it is challenging to transmit the high-resolution video with such a huge size to the ground station in real time, let alone perform the automatic detection in the UAV because of their limited battery life compared to the big consumed power by AI detection. To address the issue, we designed the communication architecture of high-resolution video transmission for UAV-based wireless surveillance system, moreover, with the edge computing and offloading. In this paper, for short- and long-distance use-case, an mmWave-based solution for uncompressed 4K video transmission for short-distance surveillance, and a multi-UAV surveillance system in 5.7GHz for long-distance surveillance are given. Numerical simulations and experimental results are consistent with the system design expectations.
