6 months ago Hello,
Thank you for sharing your proposal, which was very impressive! After careful evaluation, we regret to inform you that we will be moving forward with other candidates.
Our decision was primarily based on the alignment of the project with MissionPack's objectives, as well as the feasibility of achieving these goals with Mission Pack.
We truly appreciate your participation, and we look forward to seeing your projects in the future.
Sincerely,
Seeed Studio / Davide

Which disaster risk or issue are you addressing?
Problem: Since June 14, 2022, floods in Pakistan have killed 1,486 people. The floods were caused by heavier than usual monsoon rains and melting glaciers that followed a severe heat wave, all of which are linked to climate change. It is the world's deadliest flood since the 2017 South Asian floods[ and described as the worst in the country's history. 33 million people are affected and displaced up to 100,000 people from their homes. The social activist organizations are trying to reach out these floods effected areas using boats and other means to help out the people, but they are numerous unexplored areas where help hasn’t reached till yet due to vast spread of population and lack of facilities and funds. As the damage is so huge and it’s really challenging to deal with unlimited challenges of helpless affected people. Solution: A Raspberry Pi based fully autonomous drone equipped with OAK – D – Pro Camera (fixed – Focus) will be flying these areas and checkout if a person is stuck anywhere in flood area and sending GPS location coordinates of detected person to social activists so that they can drive their boats to these locations and help them to saving their lives. Drones can explore the flooded areas where human can’t even approach. Approach: Drone will be exploring flooded areas using GPS guided system while avoiding obstacles with 3D point cloud generated by OAK – D – Pro and a person detection model will be running alongside on OAK – D – Pro (Myriad - X) as the person detected stuck in flood, the GPS Coordinates will be sent to smart phone of social activists. Tools to be used: Pixhawk Px4 Drone Kit, OpenCV, Deepthi, ROS, Raspberry Pi, Drone, OAK – D – Pro, flight controller, Open Vino, Intel’s person detection model (person-detection-0200), Stereo Vision, 3D Reconstruction, Obstacle Avoidance.
