I think it may be possible. AFAIK, the OpenCV processes on the final image(s), not the stream itself. You'd just have to export the video from the drone into whatever device you plan to run OpenCV on to process the images. Again, that's best to my knowledge, but since OpenCV is about finding certain patterns in images, I don't think it really matters what the source is.
For infrared, I think a dead body stops typically emitting heat within 6 hours. IR is *mostly* a bi-product of heat compared to it's surroundings. That heat mostly dissipates, so for IR to work, it would need to be within a short time of whatever "disaster" you're "relieving". Also note other things can produce IR besides just bodies or heat.... Television remotes in example. I'm not sure how much IR refracts or is absorbed by some materials, but if it does, you may end up looking in an empty building do to refraction. And, again, A log can absorb sunlight and show up on an IR sensor, due to the heat, IIRC. I just feel there's much that can go wrong with attempted something automated with IR alone.... though can can use OpenCV and process the IR images and/or dual screen the video for different feeds simultaneously. I've done such myself, so it shouldn't be difficult if you're already learning it.
