Early Warning System for Forest Fire Detection

Early Warning System for Forest Fire Detection

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….
