Aerial Assistance System for Automated Firefighting during Turntable Ladder Operations
Jan Quenzel, Valerij Sekin, Daniel Schleich +5
Fires in industrial facilities pose special challenges to firefighters, e.g., due to the sheer size and scale of the buildings. The resulting visual obstructions impair firefightin…
LIO-MARS: Non-uniform Continuous-time Trajectories for Real-time LiDAR-Inertial-Odometry
Jan Quenzel, Sven Behnke
Autonomous robotic systems heavily rely on environment knowledge to safely navigate. For search & rescue, a flying robot requires robust real-time perception, enabled by complement…
Remote Autonomy for Multiple Small Lowcost UAVs in GNSS-denied Search and Rescue Operations
Daniel Schleich, Jan Quenzel, Sven Behnke
In recent years, consumer-grade UAVs have been widely adopted by first responders. In general, they are operated manually, which requires trained pilots, especially in unknown GNSS…
LiDAR-based Registration against Georeferenced Models for Globally Consistent Allocentric Maps
Jan Quenzel, Linus T. Mallwitz, Benedikt T. Arnold +1
Modern unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are irreplaceable in search and rescue (SAR) missions to obtain a situational overview or provide closeups without endangering personnel. How…
