Tablet Computing for Disaster Scene Managers
نویسندگان
چکیده
WIISARD utilizes wireless technology to improve the care of victims following a mass casualty disaster. The WIISARD Scene Manager device (WSM) is designed to enhance the collection and accessibility of real-time data on victims, ambulances and hospitals for disaster supervisors and managers. We recently deployed WSM during a large-scale disaster exercise. The WSM performed well logging and tracking victims and ambulances. Scene managers had access to data and utilized the WSM to coordinate patient care and disposition.

متن کاملDevelopment of a Client-Server System for 3D Scene Change Detection
In this paper, we present a client-server system for 3D scene change detection. A 3D scene point cloud which stored on the server is reconstructed by (structure-from-motion) SfM technique in advance. On the other hand, the client system in tablets captures query images and sent them to the server to estimate the change area. In order to find region of change, an existing change detection method...
