Initial Experiments on 3D Modeling of Complex Disaster Environments Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Abstract
The use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has the potential to significantly improve the situation awareness of emergency first responders working at urban disaster sites. Having the characteristics of being small, light-weight and quickly deployable, UAVs offer the ability to fly over an urban disaster and provide intelligence to Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) task force efforts before precious operational resources are committed on the …
