Forest Fire Detection by Infrared Data Processing

摘要

We consider the problem of designing an automatic detector for early warning of forest fires, based on the use of infrared cameras or sensors. A general overview of the system is given; we then concentrate on detection algorithms with special emphasis on the fusion of different decisions in order to exploit both the short term persistence and the long term increasing of an uncontrolled fire. Simulated and real data experiments are included to illustrate the algorithms.
