Rapid localization of injured survivors by rescue teams to prevent death is a major issue. In this paper, a sensor system for human rescue including three different types of sensors, a CO₂ sensor, a thermal camera, and a microphone, is proposed. The performance of this system in detecting living victims under the rubble has been tested in a high-fidelity simulated disaster area. Results show that the CO₂ sensor is useful to effectively reduce the possible concerned area, while the thermal camera can confirm the correct position of the victim. Moreover, it is believed that the use of microphones in connection with other sensors would be of great benefit for the detection of casualties. In this work, an algorithm to recognize voices or suspected human noise under rubble has also been developed and tested.
救援队快速定位受伤幸存者以防止死亡是一个主要问题。在本文中，提出了一种包含三种不同类型传感器（二氧化碳传感器、热像仪和麦克风）的人体救援传感器系统。该系统在高保真模拟灾区中检测废墟下的活体受害者的性能已经过测试。结果表明，二氧化碳传感器有助于有效地缩小可能的关注区域，而热像仪可以确认受害者的正确位置。此外，人们相信将麦克风与其他传感器结合使用将对伤亡人员的检测有很大的帮助。在这项工作中，还开发并测试了一种用于识别废墟下的声音或疑似人类噪音的算法。
