Path Planning Algorithm for Extinguishing Forest Fires
One of the major impacts of climatic changes is due to destroying of forest. Destroying of forest takes place in many ways but the majority of the forest is destroyed due to wild forest fires. In this paper we have presented a path planning algorithm for extinguishing fires which uses Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs) for detecting fires. Since most of the works on forest fires are bas...
متن کاملPyric‐carnivory: Raptor use of prescribed fires
Fire is a process that shaped and maintained most terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Changes in land use and patterns of human settlement have altered fire regimes and led to fire suppression resulting in numerous undesirable consequences spanning individual species and entire ecosystems. Many obvious and direct consequences of fire suppression have been well studied, but several, albeit less ob...
متن کاملLine based Geometrical Path Planning Algorithm for Extinguishing Forest Fires
In this work a mathematical approach based path planning of actor which uses equation of a straight line passing through two points is proposed to extinguish forest fires. Forest domain is considered as a square area and is tessellated into n x n cells (small squares) of desired size. The Actor which performs actions similar to the actions performed by a robot is assumed to be available at one ...
متن کاملCombining spectral and spatial information to map canopy damage from selective logging and forest fires
We propose a new spectral index, the Normalized Difference Fraction Index (NDFI), for enhanced detection of forest canopy damage caused by selective logging activities and associated forest fires. The NDFI synthesizes information from several component fraction images derived from spectral mixture models. Interpretation of the NDFI data is facilitated by a contextual classification algorithm (C...
متن کاملTrends in spatial forest planning
Both mathematical and heuristic methods have advanced rapidly in spatial forest planning over the past 20 years. The review presented here is broader in both scope and depth (more analysis within spatial forest planning models). We conduct here a world-wide literature review and extensive analysis of the status and trends over the past two decades in spatial forest planning. In our investigatio...
