Natural Disaster Mapping in Real-Time Using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (Drone)

Abstract

An unmanned aerial vehicle is used in this paper to demonstrate a disaster response scheme (UAV). Once the natural disasters like flooding or major quakes occur, rapid injury evaluation and continuous data collection are critical to develop a response plan for damage mitigation on behalf of disaster. This approach builds an onboard applications and prototype UAV with the use of navigation system termed GPS/IRNSS as a part of this research.
