A Low Cost Scheme for Tracking the Lives Buried in Landslides
نویسندگان
چکیده
The landslides cause several casualties and economic losses all over the world. Studies show that most casualties happen within the first 18-35 minutes after the burial. This demands life-detecting systems to be available immediately on the spot after the disaster. A suggested approach is deploying multiple units of these instruments across the country. Main constraint in developing countries for multiple deployments is the cost of the gadget. A scheme for detection and localization of lives buried in landslides based on a statistical and computational technique, called independent component analysis (ICA) and the Sound Source localisation

متن کاملA Novel Sampling Approach in GNSS-RO Receivers with Open Loop Tracking Method
Propagation of radio occultation (RO) signals through the lower troposphere results in high phase acceleration and low signal to noise ratio signal. The excess Doppler estimation accuracy in lower troposphere is very important in receiving RO signals which can be estimated by sliding window spectral analysis. To do this, various frequency estimation methods such as MUSIC and ESPRIT can be adopt...
متن کاملA Gravitational Search Algorithm-Based Single-Center of Mass Flocking Control for Tracking Single and Multiple Dynamic Targets for Parabolic Trajectories in Mobile Sensor Networks
Developing optimal flocking control procedure is an essential problem in mobile sensor networks (MSNs). Furthermore, finding the parameters such that the sensors can reach to the target in an appropriate time is an important issue. This paper offers an optimization approach based on metaheuristic methods for flocking control in MSNs to follow a target. We develop a non-differentiable optimizati...
متن کاملTracking Interval for Type II Hybrid Censoring Scheme
The purpose of this paper is to obtain the tracking interval for difference of expected Kullback-Leibler risks of two models under Type II hybrid censoring scheme. This interval helps us to evaluate proposed models in comparison with each other. We drive a statistic which tracks the difference of expected Kullback–Leibler risks between maximum likelihood estimators of the distribution in two diff...
متن کاملA Fast and Accurate Global Maximum Power Point Tracking Method for Solar Strings under Partial Shading Conditions
This paper presents a model-based approach for the global maximum power point (GMPP) tracking of solar strings under partial shading conditions. In the proposed method, the GMPP voltage is estimated without any need to solve numerically the implicit and nonlinear equations of the photovoltaic (PV) string model. In contrast to the existing methods in which first the locations of all the local pe...
