Bucharest – World-first technologies implemented by Salvamont Romania will be presented at the Congress of the International Commission for Alpine Rescue (ICAR) in the US, scheduled for early October.
The event will take place in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, being the largest annual gathering of mountain rescuers.
“Between October 8 and 11, the International Congress for Alpine Rescue will take place in the United States, it is the largest annual gathering of mountain rescuers, an event that will be attended by 60 to 80 countries, with even more delegations from these 60-80 countries, where the latest breakthroughs in the area, the most advanced rescue techniques, rescue systems and newly introduced equipment will be presented and, with joy, the material proposed by Salvamont Romania, which reflects all the developments in technology and artificial intelligence over the past year within Salvamont Romania has been approved and will be presented in a plenary session, with a half-hour allocated for the presentation, thus a significant amount of time, as the material is particularly interesting and includes several innovations implemented for the first time worldwide in Romania,” Salvamont Romania President Sabin Cornoiu told AGERPRES.
According to him, it is about the most important world-firsts achieved by Salvamont Romania – the signal drone, the National Photogram Processing Center and the Automated Ski Area Verification System used after closing hours.
“I am referring to the ski slope surveillance and post-closure verification system, the signal antenna deployed via drone and the use of artificial intelligence to identify photograms captured by drones, these are innovative projects, which we have successfully implemented in mountain rescue, and now we have the opportunity to present them to specialists from around the world who may, in turn, adopt and integrate them into their own rescue systems. (…) These are world-firsts, the data analysis center for images collected from drones is the first of its kind in the world, the signal antenna is also a world premiere and now we have this ski slope surveillance system after closing hours, which is again a world premiere and we are delighted to have reached the point where we are recognized for our research and development in the area and to become contributors of knowledge for other teams,” Sabin Cornoiu stated.
The congress in the US will be attended by nine delegates from nine Salvamont centers in Romania.
