Abstract

One major difficulty in pervasive computing is trapped human detection in search and rescue (SAR) scenarios. Accurately identifying trapped individuals is challenging due to noisy data and the curse of dimensionality. When non-line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions are present during catastrophic occurrences, the curse of dimensionality can result in blind spots in detections because of noise and uncorrelated data. Because machine learning algorithms are incredibly accurate, this work focuses on using ultra wideband (UWB) radar waves to detect individuals in NLOS scenarios and leveraging wireless communication to harmonize information. The paper uses ensemble methods to extract features using independent component analysis (ICA) and evaluate classification performance on both static and dynamic datasets. The testing results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, with classification accuracies of 87.20% for dynamic data and 88.00% for static data. Lastly, during SAR operations, our approach can assist engineers and scientists in making quick decisions.

Abstract

The rising cases of structural collapses across the world have aggravated the problem of finding people under rubble as part of search and rescue (SAR) effort. The conventional search techniques, namely drill operation and the use of dog searching, are usually slow, labour-intensive and unsuccessful in difficult debris setting. Radar systems, though non-invasive, are limited by attenuation and multipath interference in non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environments. The proposed research will contribute to the improvement of victim recognition by creating an advanced machine learning (ML) model that will operate in the most challenging environmental settings. It suggests a modular prediction model combining both the K-nearest neighbor (KNN) and partial least squares (PLS) to extract features and reduce the dimensions. The procedure includes the derivation of essential signal characteristics, dataset validation, PLS application to get limited and discriminative feature amounts, and KNN classification under conditions of both fixed and dynamic conditions. Experimental findings indicate classification scores of 87.87 and 75.70 respectively in case of static and dynamic data. These results validate the practicability of the suggested solution in enhancing the forecasting accuracy during NLOS circumstances and emphasize its possible use in enhancing quicker, more dependable, and evidence-based official choices during the actual SAR operations.
