Sažetak
Improving efficiency and response time of Search and rescue (SAR) services can improve victims’ chance of survival and prevent unnecessary loss of life. Success rate of SAR operation significantly depends on the response speed and magnitude of the search area. These often include areas with reduced visibility where approach is highly difficult or impossible. This can place SAR teams that are conducting the SAR mission or otherwise helping the victims, in danger. One of the potential solutions that can help with locating and identifying victims in danger, while at the same time reducing time necessary for extracting the victims from harm’s way, regardless of the time of day or the terrain is unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or drone. SAR missions at sea would benefit greatly from the use of drones equipped with thermal imaging equipment due to the fact that thermal cameras can read temperature measurement very easily and display temperature readings as an image or video in various sea conditions, regardless of the time of the day and night. This paper presents one possible solution to victim recognition in the sea by the use of drone equipped with thermal camera. Low cost solution developed in this paper was tested on several different scenarios. Future work and improvement recommendations are presented.
