用增强现实提升无人机搜救中远程与现场人员的态势感知
Leveraging Augmented Reality for Improved Situational Awareness During UAV-Driven Search and Rescue Missions
- 开发AR系统VizCom-AR实现远程与现场人员的可视化信息共享
- 实验证明该系统显著提升双方的空间认知和定位效率
- 适合应急救援团队、无人机操作员及智能指挥系统设计者
在高风险的搜救任务中，无人机（UAV）的部署日益关键。此类任务要求响应团队内不同角色间实现无缝实时通信，特别是远程操作员（ROs）与现场操作员（OSOs）之间。传统上，双方依赖无线电通信传递关键信息，如遇险者位置、危险区域和兴趣点。然而，无线电缺乏信息可视化，易受噪声干扰，且需额外认知负荷理解，导致沟通失误。为此，本文提出VizCom-AR——一种增强现实系统，旨在促进无人机搜救任务中ROs与OSOs之间的视觉化沟通并提升态势感知能力。通过实验、警察人员焦点小组讨论及实地研究发现，VizCom-AR有效增强了双方的空间意识，促进了地理定位信息交换，并能良好补充现有通信工具。整体而言，VizCom-AR为大规模无人机驱动搜救任务中的AR系统设计提供了基础框架。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In the high-stakes domain of search-and-rescue missions, the deployment of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) has become increasingly pivotal. These missions require seamless, real-time communication among diverse roles within response teams, particularly between Remote Operators (ROs) and On-Site Operators (OSOs). Traditionally, ROs and OSOs have relied on radio communication to exchange critical information, such as the geolocation of victims, hazardous areas, and points of interest. However, radio communication lacks information visualization, suffers from noise, and requires mental effort to interpret information, leading to miscommunications and misunderstandings. To address these challenges, this paper presents VizCom-AR, an Augmented Reality system designed to facilitate visual communication between ROs and OSOs and their situational awareness during UAV-driven search-and-rescue missions. Our experiments, focus group sessions with police officers, and field study showed that VizCom-AR enhances spatial awareness of both ROs and OSOs, facilitate geolocation information exchange, and effectively complement existing communication tools in UAV-driven emergency response missions. Overall, VizCom-AR offers a fundamental framework for designing Augmented Reality systems for large scale UAV-driven rescue missions.
