FIELD OF INVENTION

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to smoke and fire detecting device, and more particularly to unmanned aerial device for smoke and fire detection and method monitor occupants.

BACKGROUND

Smoke is defined as a collection of airborne particles which are suspended with carbon or other elements in air which is typically emitted when a material or an object is subjected to pyrolysis or combustion. To detect such smoke in a localised environment, smoke detecting devices are used.

In a conventional smoke detecting device, smoke is detected either by an optical method or a physical method. Further, the optical method works based on photoelectric effect which uses photodiodes to detect fire within the localised environment and hence detects the smoke. Moreover, the physical method is based on ionisation principle, wherein the conventional smoke detecting device based on the ionisation principle is integrated with a small amount of radioactive material to detect the smoke within the localised environment. However, such system cannot be relied on for determining occupants within the localised environment. Also, the conventional smoke detecting device can generate an alarm on detecting the smoke or the fire within the localised environment which limits in notifying an authority responsible for enabling an action upon detecting smoke or fire within the localised environment.

In comparison with the conventional smoke detecting device, a newer smoke detecting device includes a camera and multiple sensors for determining multiple factors within the localised environment, when the localised environment is producing smoke due to fire which can be generated for any reason. The newer smoke detecting device is designed to move around the localised environment for determining the multiple factors upon detecting smoke or fire within the localised environment. The camera captures the images or videos of the localised environment upon fire being generated. The newer smoke detecting device captures the occupants within the localised environment and can also detect a location of the captured occupants using the multiple sensors located within the smoke detecting device. However, the newer smoke detecting devise does not specify the type of occupants captured such as live, dead or sick. Also, the newer detecting device can capture a presence, or an absence of the occupants hence limited to capturing an exact number of occupants within the localised environment. Further, the camera of the newer smoke detecting device do not capture physical appearance or physical measures of the occupants within the localised environment. Also, at times with the increasing level of smoke, the newer smoke detecting device fails to capture the occupants and other parameters within the localised environment.

Hence, there is a need for an improved unmanned aerial device for smoke and fire detection and method to scan and stream occupants to address the aforementioned issues.
