This review is focused on video flame and smoke based fire detection algorithms for both
indoor and outdoor environments. It analyzes and discusses them in a taxonomical manner …

The primary sources for ecological degradation currently are the Forest Fires (FF). The
present observation frameworks for FF absence need supporting in constant checking of …

Because of their rapid maneuverability, extended operational range, and improved
personnel safety, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) with vision-based systems have great …

Forest firefighting missions encompass multiple tasks related to prevention, surveillance,
and extinguishing. This work presents a complete survey of firefighters on the current …

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) based computer vision system, as a more and more
promising option for forest fires surveillance and detection, is now widely employed. In this …

This paper investigates forest monitoring and fire detection strategies using a team of
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs). UAVs have great …

With the increasing interest in leveraging mobile robotics for fire detection and monitoring
arises the need to design recognition technology systems for these extreme environments …

A real-time probabilistic classification method was developed for identifying fire, smoke, their
thermal reflections, and other objects in infrared images. This algorithm was formulated for …

The main focus of this research is to develop a real-time forest fire monitoring system using
