Edge AI-enabled Drones Delivering First Response for Public Safety
Hardware: A603 Carrier Board with NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX Application: Drone Inspection for Fast Response Industry: Public Safety
- Industry
- Public Safety & Security
- Application
- Forest Patrol and Fire Response
Project background and needs
A public safety drone solution in the USA uses an A603 carrier board and Jetson Orin NX to process zoom and thermal infrared camera video, serving forest patrol, fire monitoring, and ground response.
Manual Patrol Burden
- Manual patrols are labor-intensive and time-consuming.
- Patrol personnel face safety risks in the field.
Needed to reduce intensive manual patrols.
Fire Information Timeliness
- Traditional lookout methods provide limited visibility.
- Satellite data acquisition time and on-site coordination delays affect early response.
Needed to provide fire video and location information in a timely manner.
Solution and architecture
Onboard Vision
A zoom camera captures footage; the Jetson Orin NX on the A603 carrier board processes and analyzes the data.
Thermal Imaging and Response
A multi-rotor drone with a thermal infrared camera identifies fire points and hovers to transmit video, informing command and dispatch.
