PSC.02 — Victim Localization Under Uncertainty

Last modified by Mark Rinse van Koningsveld on 2025/09/02 12:06

Problems include smoke, dust, debris, occlusions; clutter. Analysts want synchronized layers and confidence with “why” (explainability). Dogs and technical search remain crucial; drones/robots are additional tools.

Symptoms & Impacts

  • Time wasted on low-yield spots; missed survivable voids.
  • TLs receive heatmaps instead of actionable waypoints.

Contributing Factors

  • Desynced feeds; weak provenance (who marked what, when); no rapid re-task loop.

Desired Outcome

  • High true-positive rate; marked victim POIs with confidence and rationale; quick re-inspection.

How SYNERGISE addresses

  • UC02.0: AI-assisted victim cues; analyst verification; waypoint marking with notes.
  • UC04.0: robot re-tasking to suspected voids; close-in inspection.
  • Provenance trail on markers; push decisions & routes, not raw feeds.

Metrics

  • Confirmed-victim detection rate; time to first confirmed victim; false-positive burden.
