Using Lidar Information to Help Safety First Responders

ORAL

Abstract

In emergencies, many public safety personnel die within a few feet of safety. Lidar can be used to create a dynamic map of an area. When Lidar data is combined with a simultaneous localization and mapping algorithm, the result can be used to help safety first responders navigate through a number of dangerous environments. This talk will describe the details of such a system.
