The design of air-space integrative calamity information analysis and rescue system

摘要

To improve the response ability of calamity rescue, a developing air-space integrative system is presented. In contrast to other system, this system utilizes both the Remote Satellite System (RSS) and the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) to implement the information collection and analysis task. Three novel functions of this system are emphasized: the people searching and positioning, the line patrolling and checking, and the delivery of rescue materials using UAV. Both the image analysis and the UAV control techniques are employed: the infrared and visible light fusion algorithm is used to detect the victims in disaster areas; the satellite navigation and vision analysis techniques are utilized to realize the line patrolling and checking; and the camera based navigation and control methods are employed to deliver the necessary rescue materials to victims. The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is proposed to assist the decision making of calamity rescue according to the preplan database. This system is still under development and it will improve the calamity rescue ability of China in future.
