Abstract

When a disaster strikes, victims are forced to be isolated from the city and safety regions.As such,victims are stranded on leftover building or bunkers.After the disaster,usually,a search and rescue (SAR) mission will be conducted to locate and rescue the victims.Even though quick action is taken but the availability of vehicle to save all the victim is not enough.Therefore,having an autonomous UAV greatly helps to reduce the time taken to find a victim Together with a convolutional neural network machine vision to identify humans,the autonomous UA V is able to move around a disastrous area with quick movement and able to provide emergency supplies to victim that are stranded in the area.In this paper,we will be analyzing the total amount of payload a autonomous UAV is able to transport by changing the diameter and pitch of the propeller to better understand the thrust that can be provided.The current consumption also is analyzing to better understand the consumption of the current when the diameter or the pitch of the autonomous UAV is changed. Besides that,this paper also discusses the factors that will affect the accuracy of the human detection algorithm by comparing two main detection method,mainly Haar Cascade Classifier and TensorFlow Object Detection API.
