These disaster photos are taken in real time by the crowd, unmanned aerial vehicles, and wireless sensors. However, communications equipment is often damaged in disasters, and the very limited communication bandwidth restricts the upload of photos to the cloud center, seriously impeding disaster rescue endeavors. Based on edge computing, we propose Echo, a highly time-efficient disaster rescue framework. By utilizing the computing, storage, and communication abilities of edge servers, disaster photos are preprocessed and analyzed in real time, and more specific visuals are immensely helpful for conducting emergency response and rescue. This article takes the search for missing people as a case study to show that Echo can be more advantageous in terms of disaster rescue. To greatly conserve valuable communication bandwidth, only significantly associated images are extracted and uploaded to the cloud center for subsequent facial recognition. Furthermore, an adaptive photo detector is designed to utilize the precious and unstable communication bandwidth effectively, as well as ensure the photo detection precision and recall rate. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method are demonstrated by simulation experiments.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1145\/3331146","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,9]],"date-time":"2019-12-09T13:35:27Z","timestamp":1575898527000},"page":"1-21","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1145\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Edge-enabled Disaster Rescue"],"prefix":"10.1145","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8753-3878","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fang","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Data and Computer Science, Sun Yat-Sen University, Guangzhou, China"}]},{"given":"Yeting","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China"}]},{"given":"Zhiping","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China"}]},{"given":"Nong","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China"}]},{"given":"Ziming","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Computer, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha, China"}]}],"member":"320","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,12,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_1_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11227-016-1857-x"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","volume-title":"Proceedings of the ITU Workshop on E-health Services in Low-resource Settings: Requirements and ITU Role.","author":"Araki Noriyuki","year":"2013","unstructured":"Noriyuki Araki . 2013 .
