澳大利亞正在研制冠狀病毒探測無人機(jī)

A pandemic drone, that monitors temperature, heart and respiratory rates, is being developed to detect the coronavirus.

一種監(jiān)測體溫、心率和呼吸頻率的流行病監(jiān)測無人機(jī)正在研制中，以檢測冠狀病毒。

Fitted with specialised sensors and a computer vision system, the drone can also detect people sneezing or coughing in crowds or indoor places where people congregate, like offices, airports or cruise ships.

這種無人機(jī)配備了專門的傳感器和計算機(jī)視覺系統(tǒng)，還可以在人群中或人們聚集的室內(nèi)場所(如辦公室、機(jī)場或游輪)檢測到人們打噴嚏或咳嗽。

It's the work of a team from the University of South Australia, led by Defence Chair of Sensor Systems Professor Javaan Chahl, who have partnered with Canadian drone technology company Draganfly.

該工作由來自南澳大利亞大學(xué)的一個團(tuán)隊(duì)負(fù)責(zé)，領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人是傳感器系統(tǒng)的國防主席javan Chahl教授，他與加拿大無人機(jī)技術(shù)公司Draganfly合作開發(fā)。

Professor Chahl said the technology was originally envisaged for war zones, natural disasters and remotely monitoring heart rates of premature babies in incubators.

Chahl教授說，這項(xiàng)技術(shù)最初是為戰(zhàn)區(qū)、自然災(zāi)害和遠(yuǎn)程監(jiān)測早產(chǎn)兒的心率而設(shè)計的。

"Now we see a need for its use immediately, to help save lives in the biggest health catastrophe the world has experienced in the past 100 years," he said.

他說:“現(xiàn)在我們看到有必要立即使用它，以幫助在這場過去100年世界經(jīng)歷的最大健康災(zāi)難中拯救生命。”

"It might not detect all cases, but it could be a reliable tool to detect the presence of the disease in a place or in a group of people."

它可能無法檢測出所有的病例，但它可能是一個可靠的工具，可以在一個地方或人群中檢測出疾病的存在。

Professor Chahl previously helped develop image-processing technology to detect a human's heart rate from drone video and more recently algorithms to interpret human actions such as sneezing and coughing.

Chahl教授之前幫助開發(fā)了圖像處理技術(shù)，通過無人機(jī)視頻檢測人類的心率，以及最近的算法來解釋人類的行為，如打噴嚏和咳嗽。

Draganfly chief Cameron Chell said the technology would be available to government, medical and commercial customers.

德拉甘利首席執(zhí)行官卡梅倫•切爾表示，這項(xiàng)技術(shù)將向政府、醫(yī)療和商業(yè)客戶開放。

"Health and respiratory monitoring will be vital not only for detection but also to understand health trends," Mr Chell said.

切爾表示:“健康和呼吸監(jiān)測不僅對檢測至關(guān)重要，而且對了解健康趨勢也同樣重要。”
