GIS based fire rescue system for industries using Quad copter — A novel approach

The widespread use of airborne vehicles and its growing applications in various domains can be attributed to their ability to operate in inaccessible areas, thus decreasing the human loss in major accidents, and making access easy to dangerous conditions. These pilotless airborne vehicles with some remote sensing techniques involved in it, are emerging as a new technology. The airborne vehicles are enduring, cost effective and also provide a reliable platform for surveying. Consequently, small airborne vehicles, here Quad copter, equipped with sophisticated components can capture and transmit the image or video to the Data Base. They are sent for processing and made accessible to the Geographical Information System (GIS), where further analysis is done for the proceedings of the rescue operation. This application finds a great utility predominantly in industries and military.
