Great video and article about drones being used in Australia by lifeguards dropping lifesaving equipment and spotting sharks

Oh, that's brilliant.
Watching some RNLI rescues where they are searching for people in the water which are always hard to see, you can imagine a future where they launch a half dozen drones which run a co-ordinated search pattern & use automated visual processing, maybe infra-red, to find people more quickly. It doesn't seem out of reach to do that sort of thing now.

Yeah that drone is recognising shapes and can tell the difference between sharks and people (in the second video) they could easily find people in the water at night with an IR camera.

Caister independent lifeboat are currently trialing drones to carry out search patterns but I believe it’s still very much in the early development stage.Watching some RNLI rescues where they are searching for people in the water which are always hard to see, you can imagine a future where they launch a half dozen drones which run a co-ordinated search pattern & use automated visual processing, maybe infra-red, to find people more quickly.
