AI Based Fire Detection System

AI-Based Fire Detection

GIS LAB will use advanced technologies like artificial intelligence for fire detection. AI-based early detection mechanisms for wildfires are designed to identify potential fire outbreaks at their earliest stages to reduce damage, prevent loss of life, protect wildlife, and improve firefighting strategies.

Fire-Affected Areas Mapping

Fire-affected areas mapping assesses the extent of loss, planning for recovery, and managing post-fire situations. It involves identifying areas impacted by wildfires.It is also helpful to contain wildfires.

Technologies Use for Fire-Affected Areas Mapping

Geospatial technologies will be employed in fire-affected areas to generate maps.

Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

In fire-affected areas, GIS technology is critical in mapping fire damage and aiding recovery efforts.

Remote Sensing

Remote sensing technology is crucial in assessing the extent of fire damage, details of the fire, and accurate and timely information from affected areas.

Thermal Sensors

Thermal sensors are vital for detecting temperature anomalies and identifying areas of fire activity. These sensors can detect heat signatures from wildfires, helping pinpoint the most severely affected areas.

Sensor Deployment Strategy

Dense Deployment in High-Risk Areas

High-risk areas, such as regions prone to dry conditions, populated areas, or places with certain vegetation types, require a higher concentration of sensors. This network allows for quicker fire detection and early response.

sensor: 1 sensor per hectare

Sparse Deployment in Remote Areas

In more remote areas where human activities are minimal, the density of sensors is lower. However, these sensors are still strategically placed to monitor and detect fires in remote areas that are not easy to reach, enabling detection even in less accessible locations.

Fire Alert System

A warning system is triggered upon the detection of fire. The system sends an immediate fire alert, including the fire's location, exact coordinates, or GPS location. This alert enables emergency teams to respond swiftly, helping minimize the fire's spread and mitigate damage. A fire alert system is necessary to prevent fires from spreading.

GIS LAB Performance

GIS Lab to Conduct AI-Based Sensor Pilot Studies in 3 Zones of Punjab Forests. This aims to test and refine AI-based sensor technologies for large-scale deployment across broader areas. This study involves Drones and satellite images to detect fire-affected areas.
