Abstract

Purpose. To conceptually substantiate and analyze the application of SLAM systems in unmanned aerial vehicles for precise 3D and 4D mapping of objects and terrain in emergency situations to provide timely and accurate information to emergency response managers (ERM).

Methods. A review of existing SLAM architectures, analysis of multi-sensor data fusion methods, comparison of algorithms (LOAM, LeGO-LOAM, LIO-SAM, etc.) based on literature sources and a conceptual evaluation of the results using metrics of mapping accuracy, model resolution, and sustainability to interference.

Findings. Multisensor SLAM systems demonstrating the potential for creating highly accurate 3D models of objects and terrain in extreme conditions were analyzed. It has been established that the use of SLAM for operational mapping in emergency situations allows for increasing the accuracy of information for ERM, reducing the time for making management decisions and minimizing risks during emergency response.

Application field of research. The conceptual conclusions obtained can be used to develop strategies for implementing SLAM systems in unmanned aerial vehicles for monitoring and modeling emergency zones, emergency response radar information systems, and for solving other life safety problems.
