Victim detection with Infrared Camera in a "Rescue Robot"
نویسنده
چکیده
Nowadays the presence of robots is a must in many fields. One of these, is assisting and rescuing injured people in a disaster such as earthquake, flood, ... where the human assistance is difficult due to hard and dangerous conditions and long delays, in such cases robots can be used to detect victims and report their locations to rescuers. One of the most useful tools is IR (InfraRed) Camera. The body of a human is usually warmer than the environment. Furthermore it has an IR radiation, which is different from other things. So a victim can be detected with an IR Camera. This paper proposes a method to detect victims with images taken by an IR camera in an intelligent way with neural networks.

New Method for Localization and Human Being Detection using UWB Technology: Helpful Solution for Rescue Robots
Two challenges for rescue robots are to detect human beings and to have an accurate positioning system. In indoor positioning, GPS receivers cannot be used due to the reflections or attenuation caused by obstacles. To detect human beings, sensors such as thermal camera, ultrasonic and microphone can be embedded on the rescue robot. The drawback of these sensors is the detection range. These sen...

In many autonomous mobile applications, robots must be capable of analyzing motion of moving objects in their environment. Duringmovement of robot the quality of images is affected by quakes of camera which cause high errors in image processing outputs. In thispaper, we propose a novel method to effectively overcome this problem using Neural Networks and Kalman Filtering theory. Thistechnique u...

Full autonomy is an interesting feature for rescue robots not only from a basic research perspective but also in respect to an application oriented view. Autonomy can help a single operator to handle multiple robots or to manage areas that suffer from disturbances in the RF-communication. Furthermore, the different modules used for autonomy like mapping and victim detection are also tremendousl...
متن کاملThree-Dimensional Thermography Mapping for Mobile Rescue Robots
In urban search and rescue situations, a 3D map obtained using a 3D range sensor mounted on a rescue robot is very useful in determining a rescue crew’s strategy. Furthermore, thermal images captured by an infrared camera enable rescue workers to effectively locate victims. The objective of this study is to develop a 3D thermography mapping system using a 3D map and thermal images; this system ...
