Abstract | During a disaster, children may be quickly wrenchedfrom their families. Research shows that children in suchcircumstances are often unable or unwilling to give theirnames or other identifying information. Currently in theUS, there is no existing system in the public health infrastructurethat effectively expedites reunification when childrencant be identified. Working with the Childrens HospitalBoston, we have engineered a system to speed reunificationof children with their families, should they get separatedin a disaster. Our system is based on a Content BasedImage Retrieval and attribute search. In this paper we willdescribe the system and a series of evaluations, including arealistic disaster drill set up and run jointly with the ChildrensHospital. |
