Early Warning System for Forest Fire Detection

Bycvlabadmin

The overall goal of this project is to develop Forest Fire Monitoring System which is cost-effective, locally indigenized, scalable and feasible for application in Pakistani context. Based on this premise, instead of the high-end and costly thermal camera, NCRA-Agricultural Robotics Lab (NARL) at LUMS is proposing to use standard RGB cameras with night vision capabilities. Pan, tilt and zoom cameras will be utilized to increase the coverage area. Furthermore, a network of IoT sensors will also be designed and deployed to measure local attributes such as temperature and CO2.

Project consists of the following modules:
The sensing solution will have two components:

  1. Camera Based Sensing
  2. IoT Air Quality Sensors for CO2 and temperature sensing

In addition, we also plan to enable effective forest fire risk management using

  1. IoT Automatic Weather Stations
  2. GIS mapping for fire hazard risk and management

Lastly, NARL aims to do the following value addition in enhancing capacity of forest rangers by providing them with effective off-grid communication and navigation:

  1. V. IoT off-grid communication system

Ijaz Akhter, Yaser Sheikh, Sohaib Khan, Takeo Kanade Abstract Existing approaches to nonrigid structure from motion assume that the instantaneous 3D shape of a deforming object is a linear combination of basis shapes. These basis are object dependent and therefore have to be estimated anew for each video sequence. In contrast, we propose a dual approach to describe the evolving…
