Prototype of Image Processing Based System fo Search and Rescue

Search and rescue (SAR) missions generally include scavenging of large areas of non-urban or at a very least sub-urban terrain, such as forests, mountains, deserts, sea, etc. Any solution that can speed up the search and/or increase the chances of finding a lost person(s), should be thoroughly investigated, because eventual benefits are almost priceless. Proposed solution uses image processing for automatic detection of humans and artificial artefacts in natural surroundings. Input data is gathered using GPS-navigated drones capable of recording high resolution images. In the next phase, images are processed on the ground-based computer. Obtained results are comparable to those of human trackers.
