ResQVision analyses fixed and aerial video for people, vessels and configured activity. Tracks and event footage give search teams a clearer observation to review alongside their search plan, reports and wider information.

At a glance

The view

Fixed and aerial cameras, with coverage and target size assessed for the mission.

The context

People and object activity, tracks and the available video evidence.

The decision

The receiving team combines camera context with its wider search information.

01

People and scene context

Identify visible people and follow movement within the camera’s coverage. Review the footage around an observation to understand what the camera can establish.

Example configuration

Review a person observed in aerial video.

The input
Authorised video from the mission’s aerial camera.
The analysis
People detections and visible tracks within the view.
The operator
The receiving team checks the footage against the wider search information.

Illustrative workflow. The camera view, event and delivery are agreed for each site.

Recorded aerial vessel observations. Demonstration footage, with an enlarged detail.
02

Fixed and aerial viewpoints

A fixed coastal camera can observe one area over time. A drone or aircraft camera provides a changing viewpoint. Assess coverage, target size, visibility and movement for each input.

The recorded vessel example illustrates observations within an aerial camera’s view. It is demonstration footage and does not represent a completed search mission.

Start with the viewpoint available to your team and the observation you need to review. Explore aerial analysis.

03

Keep the decision with the team

The receiving team reviews the observation, combines it with other search information and follows its operational procedures. The system’s output does not replace search coordination or establish complete coverage of the search area.

Agree the event delivery, available evidence and communication pathway. Where location data is needed, confirm the data source and integration rather than inferring a position from video alone.

04

Evaluate the complete workflow

Choose one subject or observable task and representative footage. Assess input suitability, detection and tracking usefulness, missed events, false-alert burden and delivery to the receiving team.

The free initial camera assessment helps establish the next step. Any controlled live trial or mission-specific integration has a separate agreed scope.
