WSAM
Considering the current high level of attention that is being paid to drones, it is easy to overlook the enormous potential that they bring with them in civilian areas. Drone groups are establishing themselves worldwide in blue light organizations such as the police, fire brigade and mountain rescue to use this technology to save human lives. Search and rescue operations benefit, among other things, from the flexible, fast and - compared to helicopters - inexpensive and safe use of drones. They are also used in the inspection of disaster areas, for the early detection of forest fires, for border security, or wildlife observation. The problem with all these applications is always the occlusion caused by vegetation, such as forest, which usually makes it impossible to find, detect, and track people, animals or vehicles in single aerial photographs.
