Agent Based Sensor and Data Fusion in Forest Fire Observer

The observer network is a system consisting of its physical part, various sensors deployed directly in the environment integrated with appropriate communication components, and software part, intelligent mechanisms for sensor network data fusion and interpretation. Data fusion is used as a formal framework for combining data from different physical sensors of the same type, but also from different type of sensors. Its main task is to obtain information of greater quality and the exact definition what ‘ greater quality’ means is primarily application dependent. Our main phenomenon of interest was forest fire. Forest fires represent a constant threat to ecological systems, infrastructure and human lives. Croatia belongs to countries with enhanced summer forest fire risk particularly the Dalmatian coast and islands. Great affords are therefore made to achieve early forest fire detection, which is traditionally based on human surveillance. Since 2003 we have intensively work at University of Split on development of automatic forest fire observer. The forest fire observer is the elementary node of forest observer network currently under development in Croatia, particularly in Croatian National Parks.
