Watchtower| Spot That Fire V2.0
Project Details
The Challenge | Spot That Fire V2.0
Your challenge is to create an application that leverages NASA's near-real-time and archival wildfire datasets along with other tools to support firefighting and fire mitigation efforts. This challenge builds on last year’s challenge of the same name by calling for innovative ideas and apps that focus on how to engage and enable citizens to assist with the entire firefighting and fire mitigation process.
Watchtower
Watchtower is a software that helps people in fire risk zones prevent, detect and fight wildfires.
We used INPE, NASA and open data to create a machine learning system that can separate wildfires images and non-wildfire images, besides a prediction system that pre-detect wildfires using climate data and historical informations. We also visually created an app where the citizen can make a report, sending a media that will be forwarded to the local defense institution. The app also includes a manual that can help citizens with what to do in case of a wildfire.
