Abstract

The present disclosure is related to systems and methods for disaster control. The method includes obtaining an alert message including information associated with a disaster in a target area. The method includes sending a first shooting instruction to at least one camera device to capture first image data associated with the target area. The method includes obtaining a plan for controlling the disaster from at least one processor. The first image data may be transmitted to the at least one processor through a communication network. The plan may be determined based on the information associated with the disaster and the first image data.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for disaster control implemented on a control device, the method comprising:
obtaining an alert message including information associated with a disaster in a target area;
sending a first shooting instruction to at least one camera device to capture first image data associated with the target area, wherein the first shooting instruction includes a first instruction and a second instruction, the first image data includes second image data and third image data, the at least one camera device includes a first camera device and a second camera device, and the sending the first shooting instruction to the at least one camera device to capture the first image data associated with the target area comprises:
sending, to the first camera device, the first instruction to direct the first camera device to the target area and an adjacent area to capture the second image data; and
sending, to the second camera device, the second instruction to capture the third image data, wherein the second camera device is located in the target area or the adjacent area, and the third image data is associated with the target area and the adjacent area; and
obtaining a plan for controlling the disaster from at least one processor, wherein the first image data is transmitted to the at least one processor through a communication network, and wherein the plan is determined, by the at least one processor, based on the information associated with the disaster and the first image data, wherein the second image data includes fifth image data and sixth image data, the target area includes a plurality of sub-areas, and the method further comprises:
in response to the first instruction,
generating, by the first camera device, the fifth image data by performing a panoramic shooting on the target area;
generating, by the first camera device, the sixth image data associated with at least one sub-area of the plurality of sub-areas; and
performing, by the first camera device, a shallow compression operation on the first image data to generate compressed first image data.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the fifth image data is used to construct a map of the target area, and the method further comprises:
transmitting, by the first camera device, the compressed first image data to the control device to direct the control device to display the compressed first image data; and
prior to sending the first instruction to the first camera device:
sending, to a third camera device, a second shooting instruction to direct the third camera device to return fourth image data associated with the target area, wherein the fourth images data is obtained by the third camera device within a predetermined time period, and wherein the third camera device is located in the target area or the adjacent area.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:
in response to obtaining the plan for controlling the disaster from the at least one processor,
sending a third shooting instruction to the at least one camera device to capture seventh image data associated with at least one sub-area of the target area, wherein the seventh image data includes eighth image data, ninth image data, and tenth image data, the at least one camera device further includes a fourth camera device and a fifth camera device, and the sending the third shooting instruction to the at least one camera device to capture the seventh image data comprises:
sending, to the first camera device, the third shooting instruction to capture the eighth image data associated with the target area;
sending, to the fourth camera device, the third shooting instruction to capture the ninth image data associated with the target area; and
sending, to the fifth camera device associated with a user, the third shooting instruction to capture the tenth image data associated with the target area.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the fourth camera device is a smart robot with a camera, and the method further comprises:
obtaining an updated plan for controlling the disaster from the at least one processor, wherein the seventh image data is transmitted to the at least one processor, and the updated plan is determined, by the at least one processor, based on the first image data and the seventh image data.

5. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
in response to sending the third shooting instruction to the first camera device,
performing, by the first camera device, a shallow compression operation on the eighth image data to generate compressed eighth image data; and
transmitting, by the first camera device, the compressed eighth image data to the control device, and wherein the compressed eighth image data is displayed on the control device.

6. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
in response to sending the third shooting instruction to the fourth camera device,
performing, by the fourth camera device, a shallow compression operation on the ninth image data to generate compressed ninth image data; and
transmitting, by the fourth camera device, the compressed ninth image data to the control device, and wherein the compressed ninth image data is displayed on the control device.

7. The method of claim 3 , further comprising:
obtaining sound information associated with an explosion from the fifth camera device associated with the user; and
obtaining an explosion location from the at least one processor, wherein the explosion location is determined, by the at least one processor, based on the sound information and a location of the fifth camera device.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining the plan for controlling the disaster from the at least one processor comprises:
obtaining a first route for entering the target area from the at least one processor; and
obtaining a second route for leaving the target area from the at least one processor.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
determining a location of at least one equipment associated with the disaster according to an Internet of Things (IoT) positioning technology.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the at least one equipment includes at least one of the at least one camera device, or an equipment used to control the disaster.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the communication network between at least two devices of the control device, the at least one processor, and the at least one camera device is a 5G network.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, by the at least one camera device, the first image data to the control device using a 5G network.

13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the transmitting the first image data to the control device comprises:
performing, by the at least one camera device, a deep compression operation on the first image data to generate compressed first image data; and
transmitting, by the at least one camera device, the compressed first image data to the control device.

14. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
transmitting, by the at least one processor, the plan to the control device using a 5G network.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one camera device includes a 5G camera device.
