Welcome to the WiSAR Wiki. WiSAR stands for Wilderness Search and Rescue. This research project is a joint effort from several research labs in the Computer Science Department, Electronic Engineering Department, and Mechanical Engineering Department to apply new technologies such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Computer Vision Algorithms, and Human Robot Interaction to support Wilderness Search and Rescue.
