Two Iraqi students Laith Al-Shimaysawee and Ali Al-Dabbagh are studing at Adelaide's Flinder University have developed a technology which can be utilized for detecting human life using remote cameras, which could be used for rescue operations.These two students are from Najaf, south of Baghdad and studying their masters on Iraqi Government scholarships.
These two have created a new algorithm for detecting people through thermal and colour cameras which is much faster than any other available technology that needs several samples to be processed before a person can be detected.
Al-Dabbagh said,"the technology that we developed used less samples than any other present technology that sometime use 500 or may use up to 1000 samples.The latest technology that we developed uses only eight samples.Due to fewer samples this system works much faster as well as made human detection much faster.
"You could put it on a robot, or rescue team workers can put it on a helmet to detect people in difficult scenarios, unstable structures or collapsed buildings and report back to the rescue team," Dr Nasser Asgari said.
This system has potential to detect people up to 50 metres with thermal cameras and up to 30 metres with colour cameras.Its detecting range can be increased by adding lenses to the camera.Their work will be published at an international robotics conference in Dubai next month.
