Abstract

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) play a significant role in finding victims affected in the post-disaster zone, where a man cannot risk his life under a critical condition of the disaster environment. The proposed design incorporates autonomous vision-based navigation through the disaster environment based on general graph theory with dynamic changes on the length between two or multiple nodes, where a node is a pathway. Camera fixed on it continuously captures the surrounding footage, processing it frame by frame on-site using image processing technique based on a SOC. Identifies victims in the zone and the pathways available for traversal. UAV uses an ultrasonic rangefinder to avoid collision with obstacles. The system alerts the rescue team if any victim detected and transmits the frames using CRN to the off-site console. UAV learns navigation policy that achieves high accuracy in real-time environments; communication using CRN is uninterrupted and useful during such emergencies.
