This paper proposes a novel approach for the
detection of human in calamity environment using an autonomous mobile robot.
The autonomous system proposes surveying, detection of live human victims with
the help of ultrasonic sensors, motion sensor cameras, live transmission of
data and analysis of victims condition in that particular scenario. The
detection of any victim is quite difficult for the autonomous system as
compared to humans in any calamity situations. Hence, the autonomous system has
to be properly equipped with sensors like motion detection & thermal
imaging to identify the victims as efficient as humans. This paper proposes a
detailed methodology of work for an autonomous robotic system for physical body
detection. The detection system uses ultrasonic sensor & thermal imaging to
detect a live victim, which triggers the camera for actual visuals and
determination of victim condition. This autonomous system is further equipped
with a thermal sensor for detection of fire to alert and provide locations to
the rescue personals. The autonomous system automatically triggers the live
feed camera whenever a victim or fire is detected for the rescue personal to
assess the situation. The approach mentioned above is a very cost-effective and
rapid action method because only a limited amount of information is required on
a real-time basis to process the information to detect victims in highly
sensitive situations. The victim detection depends upon various factors such as
luminous intensity, the orientation of victim and other external parameters
which are discussed.
