Cooperative Fire Monitoring using Multiple UAVs
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses the possibility of using multiple low-altitude, short endurance (LASE) Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) to cooperatively monitor a forest fire. The UAVs will individually track the fire’s perimeter by means of an on board infrared sensor. Using a decentralized cooperation scheme the UAV team will collect data and upload it to a base station. Simulation results are presented that show the monitoring is effective with dynamic fire perimeters. This approach will give fire fighters the time-critical information needed to safely and effectively fight the fire.

Cooperative forest fire surveillance using a team of small unmanned air vehicles
The objective of this paper is to explore the feasibility of using multiple low-altitude, short endurance (LASE) unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) to cooperatively monitor and track the propagation of large forest fires. A real-time algorithm is described for tracking the perimeter of fires with an on-board infrared sensor. Using this algorithm, we develop a decentralized multiple-UAV approach to mo...
متن کاملA cooperative perception system for multiple UAVs: Application to automatic detection of forest fires
This paper presents a cooperative perception system for multiple heterogeneous UAVs. It considers different kind of sensors: infrared and visual cameras and fire detectors. The system is based on a set of multipurpose low-level image-processing functions including segmentation, stabilization of sequences of images and geo-referencing, and it also involves data fusion algorithms for cooperative ...

متن کاملUnmanned Aerial Vehicles as tools for forest-fire fighting
This paper reviews the possibilities of UAV applications to forest-fire fighting in the typical before-during-after scheme. Before-fire they can be used for monitoring of the vegetation and the estimation of hydric stress and risk index. UAVs can also be applied for forest-fire detection, confirmation, localisation and monitoring. Finally, the UAVs are also useful for the evaluation of the fire...
