- Forest fire detection with a small fixed wing autonomous aerial vehiclePublication . Martins, Alfredo; Almeida, José; Almeida, Carlos; Figueiredo, André; Santos, Filipe; Bento, Domingos; Silva, Hugo; Silva, EduardoIn this work a forest fire detection solution using small autonomous aerial vehicles is proposed. The FALCOS unmanned aerial vehicle developed for remote-monitoring purposes is described. This is a small size UAV with onboard vision processing and autonomous flight capabilities. A set of custom developed navigation sensors was developed for the vehicle. Fire detection is performed through the use of low cost digital cameras and near-infrared sensors. Test results for navigation and ignition detection in real scenario are presented.
