Detection of a Fallen Person and its Head and Lower Body from Aerial Images

There are various automatic human detection methods for searching people [2–4], but most of them are based on the premise that the target fallen person’s body orientation is unified and the subject is upright [3,4]. However, there is obviously no uniformity in the orientation of a fallen person’s body taken with an UAV. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an automatic detection method of a fallen person that does not depend on its body orientation.
