With the advancement in Tiny Machine Learning (ML) technologies, their application in enhancing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for hydraulic engineering surveying and mapping has become increasingly significant. TinyML’s integration offers a leap in processing efficiency and capabilities, particularly in addressing challenges such as UAV search and monitoring due to loss of contact or forced landings. The usage of medical cyber-physical systems in healthcare can revolutionize existing service delivery methods. The study focuses into the spatial grid mapping technique for three-dimensional information, the PTZ camera spatial grid target locking algorithm, and the UAV detection and image correction algorithm. The UAV target is processed using the surveying UAV target tracking method. TinyML techniques are essential for processing and analyzing these photos quickly. Precise UAV identification and tracking are made possible by the combination of image recognition and radar data, which are then processed using TinyML algorithms. This study explores the complexities of algorithms designed specifically for TinyML, such as tracking, UAV detection, grid mapping, and 3D grid space division. Experimental results validate the enhanced capability of this. The results show how well the proposed technique maps and surveys water conservation regions while promptly catching, locking onto, and tracking drones. The algorithm in this study betters than the YOLO, SSD, and RetinaNet algorithms in the recognition and detection of image-oriented surveying and mapping drones.
