Abstract

The aim of this presentation is to give an overview of a recent project aimed at utilising AI, specifically machine learning, in supporting the Police in searching for missing people. Typically searching is performed by a helicopter and officers on the ground. Recently the Police have started to use a Remotely Piloted Aircraft System in searching for vulnerable people in rural environments. This presentation describes the outputs of a successfully collaboration with Police Scotland, Thales, CENSIS and the University of the West of Scotland where the aim of the activity was to build a real-time object detection system. The AI system is fully integrated within a mobile platform compatible with a number of RPAS platforms.
