A Drone Based Wildfire Monitoring System
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Wildfires pose significant challenges to global communities, affecting lives, property, and the environment. In response to the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires, particularly in Sweden and California, this report comprehensively explores a drone-based wildfire monitoring system developed by students from Stanford University and Linköping University, sponsored by SAAB. This system, designed to enhance real-time situational awareness and improve decision-making for wildfire management teams, includes an innovative air and ground unit structure to assist firefighters in their operations. Integrating an air and ground unit enhances situational awareness with accurate fire spread data through real-time thermal imaging and predictive mapping. The air unit features lightweight construction with four propellers and various sensors like IR imaging cameras and GPS, while the ground unit displays intuitive real-time data. The project aims to improve communication and predictive analytics, ultimately empowering firefighters with crucial data to make informed decisions and enhance wildfire management strategies.
