| Drones discover the popularity of coronaviruses |
Experts are preparing to launch a pandemic drone to reduce the spread of the emerging coronavirus. Therefore, the drone is equipped with computer sensors and image processing systems to monitor and detect people with infectious respiratory diseases.
Drones can identify people who sneeze and cough in crowds, offices, airports, cruise ships, nursing homes, and other places where crowds meet.
During the new epidemic of the corona virus, drones played an important role in China, especially by distributing medicines, cleaning streets and warning people without a mask or violating the rules of the blockade.
Technology from France and Spain has been used in many European countries affected by the virus, and the drone developers hope to operate it in six different locations within six months. .
The famous drone was developed in cooperation with the University of South Australia (UniSA), the Canadian manufacturer of drones (Draganfly).
Drones contain sensors and computer vision technology that monitors the temperature, heart, and respiration rate of people in the crowd and can detect coughing and sneezing using a new advanced algorithm that can explain human behavior.
The researchers concerned said the plane demonstrated its ability to measure heart rate and respiration rate very accurately in the range of 5 to 10 meters per person or with a fixed camera at a distance less than 50 meters.
The UniSA group, led by Professor Javaan Chahl, believes that UAVs can be a practical epidemic testing tool (COVID-19). The professor said, "Although it is not possible to identify all cases, it can be a reliable tool for detection. Disease in one place or in a group of people."
Draganfly CEO, Cameron Shell, said his company used its sensors, software and technical expertise to work with UniSA and instantly deploy technology to government, medical and commercial customers to save lives. They live in the largest health catastrophe in the world last year.
