Controlled burns, used to prevent forest fires, involve setting a controlled fire in the path of an approaching wildfire. With all flammable materials burnt, when the wildfire approaches, no fuel is left and the fire dies out. Locally pilot-operated UAVs, with aerial ignition systems, as opposed to firefighters can undertake the task. Giving a bird’s-eye view and equipped with thermal cameras, drone cameras can see through smoke, helping pilots monitor and map the fire’s track. Computer vision can overlay area maps and other details on the screen so pilots don’t have to refer to multiple maps.
