Detecting and locating victims in emergency scenarios comprise one of the most powerful tools to save lives. Fast actions are crucial for victims because time is running against them. Radio devices are currently omnipresent within the physical proximity of most people and allow locating buried victims in catastrophic scenarios. In this work, we present the benefits of using WiFi Fine Time Measurement (FTM), Ultra-Wide Band (UWB), and fusion technologies to locate victims under rubble. Integrating WiFi FTM and UWB in a drone may cover vast areas in a short time. Moreover, the detection capacity of WiFi and UWB for finding individuals is also compared. These findings are then used to propose a method for detecting and locating victims in disaster scenarios.
在紧急情况下发现和定位受害者是拯救生命的最有力工具之一。快速行动对受害者至关重要，因为时间对他们不利。无线电设备目前在大多数人的物理接近范围内无处不在，允许在灾难性情况下定位被掩埋的受害者。在这项工作中，我们展示了使用 WiFi 精细时间测量（FTM）、超宽带（UWB）和融合技术来定位瓦砾下受害者的好处。将 WiFi FTM 和 UWB 集成到无人机中可以在短时间内覆盖大片区域。此外，还比较了 WiFi 和 UWB 用于寻找个体的检测能力。然后，这些发现被用于提出一种在灾难场景中检测和定位受害者的方法。
