项目摘要

Natural disasters including earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes and anthropogenic disasters, such as wildfires, are dynamic situations requiring constant monitoring as numerous hazards are constantly emerging that hinder humanitarian efforts and create deadly conditions for rescue workers and victims. Most disaster area assessment, and search and rescue efforts, rely heavily on visual imagery captured from cell phones, aerial video and other forms of media. Currently, real-time assessment for disasters depends entirely on the human operator's ability to visually identify the subject of interest in the video, or images captured. Further, damaged buildings and roadways, debris, smoke, fire, and environmental conditions such as rain complicate the human observer's ability to monitor situations for detecting victims and hazards. It is essential that rescuers can assess hazardous conditions before risking their lives and be armed with smart technologies that enable them to respond to dynamic situations. The recent events in Southern California (earthquakes) and Louisiana (Hurricane Barry) provide perishable data that will enable maturation of the proposed research activities. This plus the integration within the Smart Mobile Disaster Data Collection unit for response provides further justification of the RAPID award mechanism. The researchers will create a Smart Mobile Disaster Data Collection and Assessment tool for detecting and mapping out situational hazards using intelligent data fused information collected from multiple sensor technologies. Furthermore, this project aims to create a first-of-its-kind public database of collected imagery and media from disasters to help researchers and agencies share information or to assist in developing best practices and collaborative strategies. This project will also enable better visualization of disparate sources of data, thus making it conducive for human operator to detect hazards and victims. This research will also enhance safety and security applications across a wide range of areas including firefighting, disaster relief, and search-and-rescue. The approach of seamlessly utilizing and visualizing sensor information in a situational map to guide responders' actions and enhance their efficiency reduces the risk factor for responders.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

地震、海啸、飓风等自然灾害和野火等人为灾害是动态情况，需要持续监测，因为不断出现的大量危害阻碍了人道主义工作，并为救援人员和受害者创造了致命的条件。大多数灾区评估以及搜救工作都严重依赖从手机、航拍视频和其他形式的媒体捕获的视觉图像。目前，灾难的实时评估完全取决于操作人员视觉识别视频或捕获的图像中感兴趣的主题的能力。此外，受损的建筑物和道路、碎片、烟雾、火灾以及降雨等环境条件使人类观察者监视情况以发现受害者和危险的能力变得复杂。救援人员必须在冒着生命危险之前评估危险情况，并配备智能技术，使他们能够应对动态情况。最近在南加州（地震）和路易斯安那州（巴里飓风）发生的事件提供了易腐烂的数据，使拟议的研究活动得以成熟。再加上用于响应的智能移动灾难数据收集单元的集成，进一步证明了 RAPID 奖励机制的合理性。研究人员将创建一个智能移动灾难数据收集和评估工具，利用从多种传感器技术收集的智能数据融合信息来检测和绘制情景灾害。此外，该项目旨在创建一个首个公共数据库，其中包含从灾难中收集的图像和媒体，以帮助研究人员和机构共享信息或协助制定最佳实践和协作策略。该项目还将实现不同数据源更好的可视化，从而有利于人类操作员检测危险和受害者。这项研究还将增强消防、救灾和搜救等广泛领域的安全和安保应用。在态势图中无缝利用和可视化传感器信息来指导响应人员的行动并提高其效率的方法降低了响应人员的风险因素。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和能力进行评估，被认为值得支持。更广泛的影响审查标准。
