Using drones and neural networks to scan an affected area by a natural catastrophe (earthquake, hurricane, etc) may result in a powerful tool to save lives, this talk is about how to use/implement this tool to use a drone as a robot to save people in a natural catastrophes

Summary

Using drones and neural networks to scan an affected area by a natural catastrophe (earthquake, hurricane, etc) may result in a powerful tool for rescue purposes, especially if the video could be analyzed by a trained neural network model, this talk is about how to use/implement this useful tool to: Scan affected area, stream video, identify people to be rescued, capture GPS location, create a logistic map for rescue.
