Forest fire video surveillance and monitoring with early fire detection: system design and implementation

Forest fire video monitoring and surveillance has been recognized as useful tool for damage prevention and early fire detection in forest fire management. Video sensor located in the area that would otherwise be difficult to access provides video information about the state of the surveilled forest. This paper presents the architecture and deployment of Intelligent forest fire video monitoring and surveillance system installed in coastal area of Croatia. The system performs continuous monitoring of the surrounding area in search for signs of fire and smoke, and provides commanding officers with information on the severity and spread of fire. Sensors are located on existing communication infrastructure, which guarantees good area coverage and ensures existence of electrical power and communication for video cameras as well. Video signal processing takes place in data centre and resulting signal is continuously transferred to responsible firefighting operations centre, and, if needed, to other authorized stakeholders providing them video information from the field.
