A Hiker Was Missing for Nearly a Year. Then an AI System Spotted His
Helmet
Using AI to analyze thousands of frames taken by drone, a mountain
rescue team has found the body of a doctor who had been missing since
September 2024.
How long does it take to identify the helmet of a hiker lost in a
183-hectare mountain area, analyzing 2,600 frames taken by a drone
from approximately 50 meters away? If done with a human eye, weeks or
months. If analyzed by an artificial intelligence system, one
afternoon. The National Alpine and Speleological Rescue Corps, known
by it's Italian initialism CNSAS, relied on AI to find the body of a
person missing in Italy's Piedmont region on the north face of
Monviso--the highest peak in the Cottian Alps--since September 2024.
