Abstract : The landslides cause several casualties and economic losses all over the world. Studies show that most casualties happen within the first 18-35 minutes after the burial. This demands life-detecting systems to be available immediately on the spot after the disaster. A suggested approach is deploying multiple units of these instruments across the country. Main constraint in developing countries for multiple deployments is the cost of the gadget. A scheme for detection and localization of lives buried in landslides based on a statistical and computational technique, called independent component analysis (ICA) and the Sound Source localisation using time delay of arrival (TDOA) and CrossCorrelation method is proposed.
