Multi-UAV Wildfire Perimeter Monitoring System

Monitoring the perimeter of a wildfire in real time is crucial for effective firefighting and decision-making. This paper proposes a multi-UAV system that combines real-time infield data with a fire propagation model to accurately predict the state of the wildfire perimeter and improve fire prediction. To achieve this, a data fusion scheme is used to merge historical data with real-time measurements obtained from UAVs to update the fire propagation model. The model is then used to predict the future perimeter of the fire, which then guides the team of UAVs to track the perimeter more accurately. The system has been tested through simulation experiments, indicating its effectiveness in providing accurate real-time wildfire perimeter propagation information.
