FINAL YEAR PROJECT
AI-Powered Drone System for Early Wildfire Detection and Prevention
Wildfires pose a significant threat to ecosystems, wildlife, and human settlements, often leading to devastating economic and
environmental consequences. In recent years, wildfires have significantly impacted ecosystems and communities worldwide, with
2024 witnessing extensive fires across various regions. For instance, the 2024 South American wildfires affected countries like
Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, resulting in approximately 346,112 wildfire hotspots and damaging or destroying
about 85,866,867 hectares of land. Additionally, the 2025 California wildfires, including the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire, burned
thousands of acres, displaced thousands of residents, and led to substantial financial losses. Traditional fire detection methods, such
as satellite imaging and ground-based sensors, often suffer from delays, limited real-time monitoring, and inefficiencies in covering
large, remote forested areas. These shortcomings allow fires to grow rapidly before intervention, leading to catastrophic
consequences. With climate change intensifying fire hazards, rising global temperatures, and prolonged drought conditions, there is
an urgent need for a proactive, AI-powered solution to detect and prevent wildfires before they escalate into large-scale disasters.
This FYDP aims to develop an AI-powered drone system for early wildfire detection and prevention by integrating computer vision,
thermal imaging, and environmental sensor data. Additionally, autonomous drone navigation using SLAM and GPS tracking will
ensure efficient fire monitoring and surveillance in large forested areas. The project will also focus on onboard AI deployment on edge
devices for real-time inference, optimizing processing speed and minimizing response time. A real-time alert system will be developed
to send early warning notifications with GPS coordinates to firefighting agencies and disaster response teams. Furthermore, a
web/mobile dashboard will be created for remote monitoring, providing a user-friendly interface for real-time fire visualization and
