A drone hovers in the air against a blurred background of a large body of water and distant mountains. The focus is sharp on the drone's body and propellers, emphasizing its modern design and technological features. The scene is captured in natural lighting during what appears to be early morning or late afternoon, with a slightly cool tone.

How can large language models (LLMs), particularly GPT-4, support intelligent interpretation, mission planning, and compliance reporting in drone-assisted environmental patrols? This research investigates whether GPT-4 can bridge the gap between aerial data collection and environmental law enforcement by interpreting image metadata, mission logs, and regulatory policies. Key questions include:

  • Can GPT-4 analyze natural language descriptions of environmental violations (e.g., “suspected illegal discharge near river bend”) and match them to drone-captured images and sensor data?

  • Can GPT-4 translate drone flight protocols and inspection standards into optimized patrol plans based on weather, risk maps, and pollution history?

  • Can GPT-4 generate multilingual violation notices, summary reports, and inter-agency communication templates?
