scholarly journals A YOLO based Technique for Early Forest Fire Detection

Forest fires, wildfires and bushfires are a global environmental problem that causes serious damage each year. The most significant factors in the fight against forest fires involve earliest possible detection of the fire, flame or smoke event, proper classification of the fire and rapid response from the fire departments. In this paper, we developed an automatic early warning system that incorporates multiple sensors and state of the art deep learning algorithm which has a minimum number of false positives and give a good accuracy in real time data and in the lowest cost possible to our drone to monitor forest fire as early as possible and report it to the concerned authority. The drones will be equipped with sensors, Raspberry pi 3, neural stick, APM 2.5, GPS, Wifi. The neural stick will be used for real time image processing using our state-of-the-art deep learning model. And as soon as forest fire is detected the UAV will send an alert message to the concerned authority on the mobile App along with location coordinates of the fire, image and the amount of area in which forest is spread using a mesh messaging. So that immediate action will be taken to stop it from spreading and causing loss of millions of lives and money. Using both deep learning and infrared cameras to monitor the forest and surrounding area, we will take advantage of recent advances in multi-sensor surveillance technologies. This innovative technique helps the forest department to detect fire in first 12 hours of its initialization , which is the most effective time to control the fire.

As we all know forests are the main source of oxygen and its protection is essential to sustain the human and animal race. Since we all learnt about the necessity of air, yet we lack at taking measures to protect our mother forest. Forest Fires are the main reason for the deforestation and destruction of trees and wildlife. Forest Fires are due to these two ways either by man-made or naturally caused. In either way we have to pay for the loss occurred because we have left with only certain area for the forest. So, we have to take measures to prevent forest fire at its early stage. The main aim of our project is to design and implement an IoT based hardware module that could detect the fire and prevent it by alerting the monitoring stations with an alert message and also provides location to the nearest base station. An automatic message will be sent to the nearest base station in addition to these, it has a 360 degrees rotation camera which helps to provide continuous surveillance. We can rotate the camera in any direction from the base station itself. A buzzer that alarms when the incident is happening and a water motor, this water motor will be on automatically. We can also find location where the incident is taking place with the help of Wi-Fi module. This device helps in identifying the fire at its early stage and helps in the prevention of spread all over the forest.

Abstract Novel algorithm for fire detection has been introduced. CNN based System localization of fire for real time applications was proposed. Deep learning algorithms shows excellent results in a way that it accuracy reaches very high accuracy for fire image dataset. Yolo is a superior deep learning algorithm that is capable of detect and localize fires in real time. The luck of image dataset force us to limit the system in binary classification test. Proposed model was tested on dataset gathered from the internet. In this article, we built an automated alert system integrating multiple sensors and state-of-the art deep learning algorithms, which have a limited number of false positive elements and which provide our prototype robot with reasonable accuracy in real-time data and as little as possible to track and record fire events as soon as possible.


We have real-time data everywhere and every day. Most of the data comes from IoT sensors, data from GPS positions, web transactions and social media updates. Real time data is typically generated in a continuous fashion. Such real-time data are called Data streams. Data streams are transient and there is very little time to process each item in the stream. It is a great challenge to do analytics on rapidly flowing high velocity data. Another issue is the percentage of incoming data that is considered for analytics. Higher the percentage greater would be the accuracy. Considering these two issues, the proposed work is intended to find a better solution by gaining insight on real-time streaming data with minimum response time and greater accuracy. This paper combines the two technology giants TensorFlow and Apache Kafka. is used to handle the real-time streaming data since TensorFlow supports analytics support with deep learning algorithms. The Training and Testing is done on Uber connected vehicle public data set RideAustin. The experimental result of RideAustin shows the predicted failure under each type of vehicle parameter. The comparative analysis showed 16% improvement over the traditional Machine Learning algorithm.


The forest is one of the most important wealth of every country. The forest fires destroys the wildlife habitat, damages the environment, affects the climate, spoils the biological properties of the soil, etc. So the forest fire detection is a major issue in the present decade. At the same time the forest fire have to be detected as fast as possible. In the proposed method, a color spatial segmentation, temporal segmentation, global motion compensation, Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifications are used to detect the fire and to segment the fire from the video sequence. The method is implemented over the two real time data sets. The proposed method is most suitable for segmenting fire events over unconstrained videos in real time.

Forest fires represent one of the main problems threatening forest sustainability. Therefore, an early prevention system of forest fire is urgently needed. To address the problem of forest farm fire monitoring, this paper proposes a forest fire monitoring system based on drones and deep learning. The proposed system aims to solve the shortcomings of traditional forest fire monitoring systems, such as blind spots, poor real-time performance, expensive operational costs, and large resource consumption. The image processing techniques are used to determine whether the frame returned by a drone contains fire. This process is accomplished in real time, and the resultant information is used to decide whether a rescue operation is needed. The proposed method has simple operations, high operating efficiency, and low operating cost. The experimental results indicate that the relative accuracy of the proposed algorithm is 81.97%. In addition, the proposed technique provides a digital ability to monitor forest fires in real time effectively. Thus, it can assist in avoiding fire-related disasters and can significantly reduce the labor and other costs of forest fire disaster prevention and suppression.

Scarcity in wildland fire progression data as well as considerable uncertainties in forecasts demand improved methods to monitor fire spread in real time. However, there exists at present no scalable solution to acquire consistent information about active forest fires that is both spatially and temporally explicit. To overcome this limitation, we propose a statistical downscaling scheme based on deep learning that leverages multi-source Remote Sensing (RS) data. Our system relies on a U-Net Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to downscale Geostationary (GEO) satellite multispectral imagery and continuously monitor active fire progression with a spatial resolution similar to Low Earth Orbit (LEO) sensors. In order to achieve this, the model trains on LEO RS products, land use information, vegetation properties, and terrain data. The practical implementation has been optimized to use cloud compute clusters, software containers and multi-step parallel pipelines in order to facilitate real time operational deployment. The performance of the model was validated in five wildfires selected from among the most destructive that occurred in California in 2017 and 2018. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology in monitoring fire progression with high spatiotemporal resolution, which can be instrumental for decision support during the first hours of wildfires that may quickly become large and dangerous. Additionally, the proposed methodology can be leveraged to collect detailed quantitative data about real-scale wildfire behaviour, thus supporting the development and validation of fire spread models.

Forest fire detection from videos or images is vital to forest firefighting. Most deep learning based approaches rely on converging image loss, which ignores the content from different fire scenes. In fact, complex content of images always has higher entropy. From this perspective, we propose a novel feature entropy guided neural network for forest fire detection, which is used to balance the content complexity of different training samples. Specifically, a larger weight is given to the feature of the sample with a high entropy source when calculating the classification loss. In addition, we also propose a color attention neural network, which mainly consists of several repeated multiple-blocks of color-attention modules (MCM). Each MCM module can extract the color feature information of fire adequately. The experimental results show that the performance of our proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.
