Sažetak
Abstract – Forest fires represent a constant threat to ecological systems, infrastructure and human lives. The only effective way to minimize damage caused by forest fires is their early detection and fast reaction, apart from preventive measures. Great efforts are therefore made to achieve early forest fire detection, which is traditionally based on human surveillance. There are two types of human surveillance – direct human observation by observers located on monitoring spots and distant human observation based on video surveillance systems. More advanced approach is automatic surveillance and automatic early forest fire detection. Today there are several different approaches but the most feasible is the system based on video cameras sensible in visible spectra. In almost every country which encounters high risk of forest fires at least one such system was developed and proposed. Some of them are on the market under various commercial names. Croatia also has its own system called Integral Forest Fire Monitoring System (in Croatian IPNAS) developed at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture University of Split. The system was experimentally tested during 2005 and 2006 fire seasons on three locations in Split and Dalmatia County (Marjan Split Vidova gora Brač and faculty building Split) but it is also in everyday use in National Park Paklenica from June 2006. This paper describes the main idea behind the Croatian system IPNAS and discusses our experiences during its field tests period in 2005 and 2006.
