Purpose: To develop a video and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) streaming system on a Raspberry Pi using WebSocket for real-time data transmission, designed for efficient operation on resource-constrained devices with low power consumption, continuous functionality, and fault tolerance.
Methodology: The system was designed and developed to support real-time transmission of video and GNSS data. Its performance was evaluated using key metrics, including Central Processing Unit (CPU) usage, Random-Access Memory (RAM) consumption, bandwidth utilization, and latency, reflecting the overall efficiency of the proposed system.
Findings: Experimental results demonstrated that the system achieves stable real-time transmission of video and GNSS data with efficient resource utilization, thereby confirming its suitability under the hardware limitations of the Raspberry Pi.
Applications of this study: The proposed system is applicable to reconnaissance missions, area surveillance, or as a component in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based image processing, particularly in contexts that demand efficient streaming performance on devices with limited computational resources.
