Thermal based exploration for search and rescue robots
2017 IEEE International Conference on INnovations in Intelligent SysTems and Applications (INISTA), 2017 Detection of thermal targets for search and rescue robots is very important to be able to save more lives. Because the living human body is at a certain temperature, each thermal target point implies possible victim. Robots produced for search and rescue are expected to be able to perceive and steer toward the thermal targets.
