Swiss Air rescue service Rega has developed a drone that can scan large areas autonomously with onboard sensors and cameras. The pixel patterns from camera images are categorized aboard the drone in real time to determine if a person has been located and then the drone automatically relays this information to its operator. Eventually the drone will also have the capability to track cell phone signals.
