BackTrailGuard: Drone Patrolling Paired with AI to Provide Automated Surveillance and Safety for All Trail Users
Introduction:
Potential risks when hiking such as injuries, wildfires, or getting lost can delay rescues for hours — or even days — with traditional manual searches. TrailGuard country park autonomous drone AI surveillance system, changes this. It patrols parks, pinpoints hikers’ last locations, detects wildfires, and guides lost individuals. Imagine a stranded hiker found instantly, cutting rescue time from days to hours. TrailGuard isn’t just innovation — it’s a lifeline.
The first milestone focuses on live infrared drone feed streaming, enabling real-time data collection for AI detection training. Coupled with an intuitive interface, this approach lays the groundwork for accurate hiker identification, revolutionising park surveillance.
Complete data collection and pilot testing of the TrailGuard software for real-time human detection and hiker counting at Lion Rock Country Park with drone camera and SparAI system. The model reached over 90% accuracy, supporting SAR and park management by reducing manual patrols. Data will be processed on a dedicated server and accessible via a secure webapp.
Conduct a live demonstration for HKFSD, targeting instant wildfire detections. Three live demos with AFCD, showcasing TrailGuard’s park management features, from trail and infrastructure conditions to illegal parking detection, campsite and visitor monitoring.
LifeSparrow Solutions is a safety-focused AI company, with its flagship product, SparAI, transforming drone patrolling. Leveraging advanced drone technology and deep learning, SparAI achieves a 97% accuracy rate in detecting targets for country parks and residential areas, reducing manual monitoring time by two-thirds. Its 2D/3D mapping capabilities enable patrol teams to navigate complex terrains and devise efficient strategies, significantly enhancing operational efficiency in critical scenarios.
