Automated Damage Assessment and Mapping for Rapid Response Planning in Natural Disasters

This Omdena Local Chapter Challenge runs for 8 weeks and is a unique experience to try and grow your skills in a collaborative and safe environment with a diverse mix of people from all over the world. 

You will work on solving a local problem, initiated by Milton Keynes, England Chapter.

The problem

Automated damage assessment and mapping for rapid response planning: AI-powered drones and cameras could quickly survey the affected area to create high-resolution maps that show the extent of the damage. This information could be used to prioritize response efforts, such as search and rescue missions, and to develop effective recovery plans.

The goals

• Identify people in the affected area especially before the support team arrives at the location.
• Identify nearby locations which can be used to camp and have clear transportation access.
• Shortest route optimization to reach from A to B.
