Implementación de un sistema de búsqueda de personas desaparecidas en zonas de mediana a poca vegetación (Cerro de Monserrate), que realice labores de reconocimiento y localización por medio de una cámara ubicada en un vehículo aéreo no tripulado

Abstract

The following document describes the development of a system that allows to carry out recognition and location tasks of missing and / or injured persons in the surroundings of a pedestrian path (no more than 60 meters in radius) and in areas of median to little vegetation for example on the Monserrate hill, by means of an unmanned aerial vehicle that works by remote control. For this operation a Raspberry Pi 3 card was used that is controlled remotely from a computer using a wireless local area network (WLAN); It has a camera for the capture of images and video transmission in real time, allowing the detection of the color of any item of clothing worn by the missing person, which may be injured or tired; in addition a GPS NEO 6M module is incorporated to establish the positioning of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The whole system is done through the Python programming language. As a result, a device capable of acquiring video and capturing images was obtained that supports and facilitates the search for missing persons in areas with little vegetation.
