An Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Based Forest Patrol System

Although technology has advanced at breathless pace, wildfire still bursts out every year all over the world. There are various wildfire monitoring system employed in diferrent countries, most of them are depended on photos or videos to identify features of wildfire, after wildfire happened. Delay of confirmation is diverse based on used techonologies. An autonomous forest patrol system by Unmanned Aerial Vehicle(UAV) is presented in this paper, which try to employ the fashinable UAV to patrol in forest and collect environmental data in order to monitor and predict wildfire before it really erupts. From limited practical data collected, the monitoring data such as temperature and humidity are effective to reflect the real situation, prediction requires more data and time to prove.
