Fire Detection

School Project

Description

Fire detection through normal RGB videos for forest fire prevention.

Abstract

Forest fires are an important threat to natural ecosystems, and early detection is essential to prevent damage. Conventional fire detection relies on electronic sensors or watchtowers. These approaches have limitations in outdoor environments and forested areas.

We combine video feeds with a motion detection algorithm and a gradient-boosting model to predict forest fires in real-time. This approach is more cost-effective.
