Flood-survivors detection using IR imagery on an autonomous drone
In the search and rescue efforts soon after disaster such as floods, the time critical activities of survivor detection and localization can be solved by using thermal long-wave infrared (LWIR) cameras which are more robust to illumination and background textures than visual cameras. This particular problem is especially challenging due to the limited computational power available on-board comm...
متن کاملLow Cost UAV-based Remote Sensing for Autonomous Wildlife Monitoring
In recent years, developments in unmanned aerial vehicles, lightweight on-board computers, and low-cost thermal imaging sensors offer a new opportunity for wildlife monitoring. In contrast with traditional methods now surveying endangered species to obtain population and location has become more cost-effective and least time-consuming. In this paper, a low-cost UAV-based remote sensing platform...
متن کاملAR-Drone as a Platform for Robotic Research and Education
This paper presents the AR-Drone quadrotor helicopter as a robotic platform usable for research and education. Apart from the description of hardware and software, we discuss several issues regarding drone equipment, abilities and performance. We show, how to perform basic tasks of position stabilization, object following and autonomous navigation. Moreover, we demonstrate the drone ability to ...
متن کاملAn IR-based Pedestrian Detection System Implemented with Matlab-Equipped Laptop and Low-Cost Microcontroller
Infrared (IR)-based human detection research has received much attention within the research community in recent years. Recently, for industrial applications, infrared (IR) sensors have been applied to human detection in vehicle safety, night-vision, and military applications. They directly detect targets with warm temperatures in the image, providing a potentially simpler and quicker solution ...
