ADRET
In recent years, the Federal Agency for Technical Relief (THW) has created new Unmanned Aerial Systems (Tr UL) units to gather information in complex operational situations or when searching for people. In order to support these new units, innovative web applications and AI methods for the automated analysis of drone, aerial and satellite images developed in the joint project Automated Drone Image Analysis and Processing for THW Emergency Forces (ADRET) at DLR are being adapted to the needs of the THW, applied as examples and handed over.
A standardized procedure for crisis mapping with drones is being developed in joint workshops. This ranges from drone flights in the event of a disaster to image analysis and the prompt provision of situation information. The knowledge generated in ADRET is passed on to the wider THW in a "train the trainer" process. The aim is for the procedures to be used by the THW's UL units throughout Germany in civil protection and disaster relief.
ADRET is a DATIpilot innovation sprint within the framework of a new BMBF funding guideline.
